Pastor Chris celebrated his birthday all day long. We sang to him that morning, the people of El Carrizo sang to him. We went to Pastor Pedro's church that night and the entire church sang to him. The tradition in Hondruas churches is to have the birthday person at the front of the church and each member comes by and hugs the birthday person. Pastor Chris assumed it was all over when we got back for our devotion and God moments. We were all sitting around eagerly awaiting the Honduran birthday party. In one of the pictures you can see our dear sweet Jose sitting behind Pastor Chris and Heather. Inside his shirt pocket was not one but two eggs. Jose quietly gets up and gently places the two eggs on top of Pastor Chris' head and we proceeded to sing Happy Birthday. We told Pastor Chris no more surprises and he said he wanted to celebrate his next birthday in Honduras and I believe he will according to the schedule. God bless you Pastor Chris.
