Today was "Love Day" - and it is ending with our team watching all the children while the parents have a night to themselves! Movie night with 16 kids, aged 1 to 15 is quite an experience!
The day started with Eric and Sandra Reinbold showing the movie Fireproof to the pastors and their wives. After the movie, they had a discussion about the movie and gave them all copies to watch at home. Meantime, Bill & Sandy Stevener led the teens through a discussion on how God is in the business of providing husbands and wives for each other as partners, starting with Adam and Eve, working through the story of how Isaac came to know Rebekah, and finishing with a discussion of Paul's comments on marriage in Ephesians 5:21-31.
Jamie Graham and Charissa Feathers kept the younger children busy. Later, Gidget Graham and Emily Bain hosted a puppet show for the younger children while Jamie and Charissa led games with the teens.
After lunch we invited to wives to a clothing "sale" where we had laid out donated clothing for them to pick for immediate and extended family. At 4 this afternoon, Gidget hosted our version of the Not-So-Newlywed game. We all learned a little something about each other during that game!
After the game, we invited the parents to go freshen up before dinner because we had plans to entertain the children and take them to dinner in the bustling town of Pena Blanca. Most had hamburguesas, while some ventured out and tried the plato tipico, a typical Honduran meal. NOTE: Oscar, our translator extraordinaire, would not let us go to the restaurant until he had checked it out and gave them specific instructions how to feed us! He instructed them that we got no ice, no fresh lettuce, only steamed vegetables, and even where to go for the ice cream! This is one night the men and women look forward to, as they have very little time by themselves.
After returning from dinner, we kept the children occupied with the movie Aristocats.
What is it they say... Having a great time, wish you were here!
Thanks for your support and prayers, but please continue... we have 1 1/2 more days, plus travel home for us and the nationals.

How fun! And deffinately more careful than we had to be when I went. Did Josue and Ritza have to be careful about anything when they were here?
