Just When You Thought It Was Over...

Honduras. Day 37.

This morning, me, Karis, Nolan, Kale, Milton and Hannah loaded up in the truck to go meet the others (we were a little late, because we were a little lazy) in Santa Ana. They were working on a new sidewalk there. Me, Karis, Nolan, Kale and Hannah, however, got to go back to my favorite (sarcasm) house site in the whole world: the cursed house in Ojojona. Apparently, the roof didn't have enough overhang, and it had holes in it. Well, when we got there, they had already added the leftover pieces to provide an overhang, so all I had to do was crawl up on the roof and patch up all the holes. So "just when you thought it was over," the never-ending Ojojona house had one more day of work to plague us with afterall. Maybe next week it'll fall apart and we'll have to go back and re-build it.

:)

After we got that done, we just hung out in Ojojona for a while (got pupusas, hung out at the big tree, walked around, etc.). Eventually the rest of the group showed up to eat pupusas. After that, we got the truck and headed with Marc to Sector Ocho. It was awesome to be back in that community; it is definitely my favorite in all of Honduras. All of the old women recognized me, and they were really kind to me. I saw Reyna's grandmother, and she said that Reyna was doing much better now (GREAT news, because God's just that GREAT), and got to see my buddies like Danella, Pamela, Lester, Marlo Moises, and Josilyn. After hanging out there for a while, we loaded back up and went and got the van that we're taking to La Seiba (a beach-side city we're chilling out all weekend this weekend; so I probably won't have any updates for this weekend). Then we got some Wendy's (yeah, being an intern is rough), and then we just went back to the apartments. Kale and Nolan were watching Van Helsing; me and Karis eventually gave up on that because it was way too cheesey and watched The Office instead.

I have a feeling that La Seiba will be awesome. There'll be white water rafting, hanging out on the beach, good food, and just all-around much needed relaxation. Pray for our trip and our safety.
