On The Other Side Of Things

It's 7 o'clock in the morning. You have just awaken from a well needed rest and you are head down stairs where breakfast awaits. You serve yourself and then sit down to a table full of friendly faces. Looking down to your plate you see a heaping pile of hot, delicious refried beans.
This is the way 90% of our team began the day. Once completed with the beans,we all headed over to the Nazarene church, sorry I don't know the exact name, but this is where we had some awesome worship which were "cognates", things that sound alike in both languages. These songs consisted of "I can only Imagaine" and a few other of our dearly loved worship songs. The most increadable part of the worship was the fact that we were surrounded by the children who were more then content with us just sitting with them. After worship, we got the privilege of listening to the Pator preach and Roberto translating the entire sermon. It was pretty amazing and the longest church service I had ever been to in my entire life. But, after it was complete we all hopped onto the bus because it was time for, can anyone say... Quisnos? Well, we could because it was in Spanglish. Spanish with just a hint of english to get buy. We got our subs, changed our clothes, hopped back onto the bus and headed over to Casitas Mujeres.
Casitas Mujeres is a place that holds almost every emotion possible. This facility ca go with the label of "glorified jail". These girls's stories, talents, and love would blow you away. It's amazing. But, the language barrier, suitable name, was an issue but love was not. Love is the universal language among people everywhere. It didn't matter if we didn't speak a lick of their language and they didn't speak a lick of ours. This is because God is our common ground. Goodbyes were sad but knowing we would see each other in the morning made it sweet.
The rest of the evening was spent at the hotel getting to know each other and relaxing on Honduras time. Tomorrow has a lot to bring us but we have God for us which means that NOTHING can stop us. Have a great rest of your day. Love, Us.
