Meeting with the Honduran Congress

What an educational experience for these young people. We got back to the house after finishing the house and was excited about sleeping late the next day and heading back to Tegus. Someone came to the gate knocking and so Mike and I went out to see who was there. It was the pastor who we helped two teams ago. He had a message for us to call one of the team members. So we called Jose and he said he had us an appointment to meet the Congress of Honduras on the next morning at 10 o'clock. Well we told him there was no way we were still in Choluteca. So to make a long story shorter, this group of young people got up and was on the road by 7:30 to head back to Tegus. This is amazing group of young people. So off we go to meet the Congress around 11:30. As you can see they allowed all of us in to the conference room. This is definitely a memory we will all cherish for a very long time. Thank you Jose for sitting all this up for us and for the experience. We were served the number one coffee of Honduras. We apologized for the way we were dressed but told them we gave all our clothes away on the last day to the people of Santa Cruz. They laughed and said they wish they were dressed casual too. I want to say thank you to Roger, Barry and Courtenay for coming with the group. They were so blessed to have each of you with them this week. To God be the glory for a wonder week with First Baptist Church of Southern Pines.
