Friday July 29
Heading out to the house we didnt quite complete last night to finish it out. We get there to find that the Son in law had arisen with Honduran sun and had it all finished before we got there ! Not only did he finish the work we ran out of daylight to complete, but he added his own touch.. a set of stairs ! What love and caring for his family! Jesus truly blessed Marta and Claudia with a wonderful son in law and husband.
On to market day! We divided up into teams looking for certain vegetables and produce. I was in team cabbage, along with Lanetta, Shawna, Connie, and Maria. Maria and Lanetta understand spanish the best out of the five of us, so we designated them our negotiators. The rest of us were tasked with just keeping track of what we had already purchased, as we couldnt find the entirety of our order at one vendor. We needed 100 cabbages, most vendors had around 20 at most. Marco, who knows current market prices, gave us X amount of Limperes to purchase those cabbages so we had to make sure we found the best deals :) Those poor little tykes who were pushing the carts carrying our cabbages sure earned the tips we gave them, I think the carts were carrying as much as some of them weighed themselves !!
Then it was off to a neighborhood soccer field where we set up a line for people to fill their bag with nutritous produce (carrots, cabbage, cucumber, bananas, onions) and it still amazes me how those people's eyes light up at the prospect of a decent meal for thier families for the evening. The LORD is awesome and he works miracles here every day !!
