Church and The Movies.

So today was the first Sunday of the month, so here it was communion Sunday. I got to go into town for church. We took four boys with us. Isaac, Alejandro, Manuel, Brayan. Church was great! it was an amazing experience taking communion there and in a different language. Even though I couldn’t understand what they were saying. The worship was WOW. It was beautiful. They had the words on the screen so I got to sing along as best as I could. The message was on “life and death are in the power of the tongue” I got to follow along in my Bible and follow the scriptures so the Pastor was talking about how powerful words can be. It was great. After church we took the boys out to eat. It was Me, Rhonda, Jorge, Rosa (Jorge’s wife), Michelle, Christian, Eduardo (one of the older boys who was going to school today), the four boys and, Luisa (one of the older girls who was going to live with Christian and Michelle to cook and clean for them while they are in school). Christian and Michelle go to college in Tagucigalpa, which is a 45 min. drive from Dadasko, so they live in the city Sunday night through Thursday. Thursday they come back to Dadasko ( I might have spelled that wrong. sorry). But we went out to eat to Chili’s, yea I know. Chili’s in Honduras. I got to eat Texas Cheese Fries. Lol I think it’s funny. There are so many American fast food places here. Like everywhere, it’s crazy! To see the boy’s faces was amazing. Some of them might not have ever gotten to do something like that so it was a real treat. After lunch Rhonda and I took the boys to a movie, which it was some of their FIRST time to ever go to one. We watch Toy Story in 3D and in Spanish. It’s was interesting for me, but I wish you could see their faces when they were there and see how they looked with their 3D glasses on. I do have pictures of the 3D glasses though. When we were walking to the movie place which is on the third story of the mall here, the boys asked me if I ever saw any movies before. I said yes and then they said which ones? I told them a lot and I named a few. It’s heartbreak some of these kids have never gotten to experience going to a movie place and eating popcorn and candy while drinking an soda, yet us American experience at least a few times a month. These kids are a little older too. We take so much for granted, and just seeing these kid’s faces and how they acted with excitement about something I have done hundreds of times, really made me think. It’s crazy. But after the movie we took the kids to Ice cream they got to pick two flavors and their smiles were huge! It’s was wonderful. And once again it’s something Americans have like every night. It’s working on me, it all makes me really think. Spending the day with these boys was a great way to get to know them better. You have Brayan and Manuel, who are the two adventurous ones out of the four and keep testing the boundaries, and then Alejandro, and Isaac who stayed close and listened better. These kids are sneaky, when Rhonda would leave me with them, they would look at me and smile. Then they would test the boundaries with me. It’s so funny because I knew what they were doing so I shook my head and smiled back and when they tried something I would say aqui, which is here in Spanish. They would sort of listen and laugh. We’re getting to know each other still but it makes me laugh that they do that and it wasn’t the first time. The whole group of kids “tested” the boundaries with me yesterday when we were about to hand out school supplies. The day ended well. We got home and all the kids greeted us, they are now having their free time probably watching TV outside Jorge’s casa. We’ll be getting them to bed soon because school starts tomorrow, we have to wake up at 5:30! It’s going to be great! So I’m out. 5:30 comes early! Thank you for your prayers and support! I love you all! Because of your support, you’re helping make this experience happen for me. Mucho Gracious. Until next time.
