Today we went to Buena Vista village.
When we first got there a woman came up and hugged us all. She welcomed us to her village. Another woman let us in her house to take pictures and pray for her. We have NO IDEA how these people live. I don't know of anyone who would be able to survive in those conditions, and these people know no other way.
The school was a little more "modernized" than the other villages. The students wore uniforms to school and loved entertaining us! We acted out a Bible Story while Kameran narrated and Marcia translated. The students loved it. Then we had others who explained what the story meant and asked the students questions.
Later we got out the jump rope, parachute, and balloons. They loved it! When Sidney got out his guitar they listened to our songs, but they entertained us more than we sang for them. They could have done that all day long. They sang several songs and then some of the students danced for us.
We met a young man named Hector. He had a lot of the same mannerisms as Jacob Burtch and Garrison Jones! I wonder how that happened?! lol He actually was very glad to hear that his friends from America remembered him and sent him t-shirts. He proudly wore the UT shirt, and I forced myself to take a picture of it.
It was a beautiful way to end our time in Honduras...visiting yet another village that was willing and eager to welcome strangers who worship the same (only) God!
We are already beginning to have to say good-bye to some of the people here, and it makes our hearts sad. God has truly blessed us this week by allowing us to be a part of such an awesome adventure!
We love you all!
Team Two
