The Culture of Honduras is Contagious

 

The children bring a smile to every face they come across.  I was sitting on the front porch of the project one afternoon and heard my favorite praise hymn.  I was trying to figure out where the sweet soft angelical voice was coming from.  Well one of the boys was swinging his baby sister in the hammock and singing the hymn to her.  He was singing a praise hymn to her.  What a humbling gesture from a young boy to his little sister.  A long time friend in Cedeno comes by selling his chips and telling us only L5.00 per bag.  "No Gracious" we said as he kept walking with a huge smile on his face.  Life is good for the children of Honduras.  They truly know how to be children and play and laugh and enjoy life.  One little fellow, Snyder, about two or three years old was so dirty but oh my gosh he was so full of happiness while playing all over the place.  The children bring joy to all they see and leave everyone with a huge smile.

 

The team enjoyed the culture of relaxing and laughing this week.  They enjoyed the beauty of God's creation all around them.  God's provision of a breeze and cool temperature was much welcomed by all the people.  They took time to enjoy the culture, the people and how they live.  The team leader, Mark shared one evening, first evening,  how pleased he was they all ate together at lunch and they were only four hours into the week.  The team came ready to build godly relationships with their brothers and sisters of Honduras.

Oh my goodness on the last day I arrive upon my girls learning how to make tortillas.  Kristen continued her practicing and got much better as she continued making them.  She shared this is harder than it looks. 

Danielle had her turn and also shared this is not an easy task.  These ladies do this all morning long to provide food for their family on a daily basis.  The Honduran ladies are good because it is apart of their daily routine.  Suyapa was patient as she taught the girls how to prepare and make tortillas.  I am so proud of you both for attempting the efforts of making  a traditional cuisine in Honduras.

 

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
