630 am rise and shine! (Im usually not even in bed yet haha) 730 breakfast then a morning devotional and planning session where Marc finalizes the days activities. Off to Bodega to unload boxes from the warehouse to make room for more. The Honduran kids living next to the warehouse jumped right in and helped carry boxes.. amazing we usually cant get our kids here in the states to do anything resembling work!! LOL. Little kids no more than 5 or 6 helping just like they were as big as we to carry the load. One poor young man was just almost in tears when told he couldnt help because he had no shoes and it might have been dangerous for him to walk around all the boxes without being able to see where he was going. We bring the boxes back to Julio's and begin a day of cutting bolt upon bolt of fabrics to make into blankets for a giveaway. We also assembled baby care packs and hygiene packs for the giveaway.
On the drive there and back, the mixture of Pine trees, palm trees, and other various flowering varities was just captivating to the eye, as well as the nose. The smell was just so surreal it was almost like being in a dream. Intoxicating even.
A team of 31 people from Starkville, Miss, arrived and settled in for their stay. What a great group! Our evening devotional was so much more uplifting with the addition of more voices to sing praises to the LORD.
