Last night Ambrocio, was to visit us at 5pm. This would be our first time hosting a Honduran. It is what they call a friendship visit. You provide the pop or juice and little snacks and just talk. We were told that he was bringing a few of his reletives, but we didn't expect this many!!! They all piled out of a small 4x4 pick up truck, believe it or not. They just kept coming out, more and more, 13 in all. Praise the Lord the small snacks we had prepared for only a few people ended up feeding them all. It was a nice short visit, and their niece translated for us, but we were also able to use our Spanish quite a bit too. Ambrocio is the man second from the left, with the boy on his lap. He will be taking us up to the mountains tomorrow for the weekend bringing us back on Monday morning. Again we'll have three hours in the car with him to practice our Spanish.
Yesterday Will and Dave worked on the holes for the cabins. I think they dug about 5 or 6 of them. Will came home with some pretty blisters to prove his hard work.
This will be part of a low ropes course I think. It is a log over a dug out hole. The hole will be filled with mud and you have to stand in the middle with your partner and switch places carefully. We'll be putting in the mud, when the team comes I think. Dave and Will did accomplish it, but if there was mud in there they would have been very muddy because it took them a bit to figure it out.
These next pictures are from a garden centre just down the street from us. This garden was like a jungle, it was so pretty. Mom and Dad you would have loved every minute of it.
Dave took this picture for us. Yes that is all real vines growing on that bridge. Beautiful place to hold a wedding.
This is my favourite picture. The trees just grow into huge arbours.
Uncle Stan I thought you'd appreciate this picture. Unlike most dogs around here, this boxer was very friendly. Will made a new friend!
We're unsure what this plant was called, but it was pretty.

Hi Will and Melanie
What a great blog! I just had a chance to read it tonight ...all of it! We can't wait to see you two and join in ministry with you.
Roger and Heather
Hey Melanie and William
It's so good to be able to keep up to date with you while you are away. I have to say I think I am a bit jealous. It is so beautiful there. I have never had a heart for missionary work but reading all that you have done begins to stir something in me. I'll have to pray about it and see what God brings about.
I'll keep praying for you. I miss you guys.
Your sister,
Sherry
We miss you so much and are glad that you have this spot so that we can keep up-to-date with what you are doing. We pray for you often. We love you.
Jody (speaking for all the Bucks)
Hey Will & Mel!
I finally found the address to your blog site and am totally jealous as I've read through your journey this far in Honduras! lol! It sounds like you're in your element and doing well. Looking forward to having you home, praying for you both. You'll have to bring your pics and stories over for supper when you get back!
Love ya!
