This morning, we went and worked at a home for boys. It was for orphan boys ages 3 to 16. We worked very hard doing concrete work. We are working on a paved drive from the main dirt road tp the home. We joined with a group from St. Louis. We did have a gas powered concrete mixer. Shoveling and loading was done with shovels, buckets, and wheel barrows. With a small section left to go, it absolutely started pouring rain. This was a blessing. I think we all got cooled off. Amazingly, our 15 person group did as much as a 40 person group did yesterday. Tonight, we went to a mall here in Tegucigalpa that looks very much like a mall in a big city in the US. We are all well and having a fabulous time.
THOUGHTS FROM HONDURAS
1. Honduras driving is crazy! Traffic laws are merely suggestions and there is a lot of honking.
2. Honduras is absolutely beautiful!
3. You never know how blessed you are until you get away from it. I have always been told we are so rich in America. It isn´t that I didn´t believe it, I just didn´t realize exactly how rich. The way some peoples here live is unimaginable in the United States. We will never know poverty like this.
4. I really need to learn more Spanish.
5. God is so good!
Someone please call and tell my parents to check this. They don´t know I am writing this everyday-

I am always so excited to get up each morning and get on here and read about what's going on down there with you all.
Tell Jamie I said that when I was reading about the mall, I thought "No matter where Jamie is, he'll always find a mall to visit." ...hahaha!
I can only imagine how much fun you are all having. Oh how I'd love to see those orphan boys....pinch some cheeks and hug on some of those little guys!
I look forward to seeing lots of pictures when you return. Sunshine is still praying diligently for all of you. Please know that we love and care about every single one of you.
There's a reward waiting for you all in Heaven for doing this work.
Praise His name!

Oh yeh, I'm having Tim call your parents right now. Someone else may have already done it, but that's o.k., they're getting called again. ;)
Love,
Jennifer
