One Thursday (May 28), we finished our project. The ceiling tiles are all up. The installation of 2 ceiling fans happened ... this is something very new to this community including the director. All the priming and painting was finished. The computer room/library is an off white color. The directors office is my favorite lime green and the teachers conference room is Rose colored. The windows will be purchased next week and installed and tiling put on the floor (this is part of the project that will be paid for by the Hondurans and Pastor Giron will do this starting next week.) The last team to come out in July from Victory Highway will be painting the outside and building and painting shelves for the library. There will be some sort of dedication in July of the building as Mike told the director it would be being turned over to them at that time. YEAH!!!
As for Friday (May 29), we handed out the prayer bears, toothpaste and toothbrushes and in turn, were given a wonderful presentation of song and dance by the kids and the Director thanked us and GOD for the work that we have done. They teachers and some community members cooked us up a great lunch of pinchos (beef & sausage skewers), homemade salsa, tortillas, refried beans, rice with veggies, cheese and coca cola. It was very hard saying goodbye to the kids and community we have all grown to love.
Today, May 30, the internet seems to finally be up ... and we will be tourists again. I will try to get one more BLOG out tonight. We leave Mike & Glenda's tomorrow at 9:30am to be at the airport by 10am. Our flight leaves here at 10:05am. I will keep in touch to make sure you all know we arrive safely. Please keep us in your prayers!
Thanks!
Love & Miss you all
Lisa
