The girl, Natalie in the black hair. We met her family on our last flight from Miami to San Pedro on Monday afternoon. There son, was sitting beside Will and overheard us talking about a camp. So he asked us if we were going to Campamento de Cerro de Luz. We looked at him confused because we were and we couldn't believe he knew about it. Turns out, his family lives in San Pedor and they were coming to help at the camp this weekend. So we met their hole family on the plane. God is good! Another girl that sat in front of us also new about the camp and knows the director, Ken, personally. Small world!

Dave giving Will a 'wet willy' These two are two peas in a pod. For those of you who don't know Dave, he is Esther's husband.
Inside main building waiting for lunch. I think we had some hungry people!
This is a typical hole that the Honduran's dig out BY HAND! Will's head is almost at the top. It will take days for one man to do this and they have them all over the camp!
Dave and one of his many poses!!! What a guy!
These are the cabins that our US team sleeps in while the campers are not here. The Parkdale team will be building two of these when they come in August.
Here is the high ropes course, I just finished. It took my group of four 1.5 hours to complete and they aren't even finished one of the courses. It was difficult and scary at first, but we worked as a team to complete it. My legs feel like jello and my shoulders will be sore tomorrow. Will still has yet to try it. I had someone take pics of me up there, so I'll have to download those later.
Here the beginning holes and layout of one of the cabins the Parkdale team will be working on. 
This building is still under construction. They have had to stop for now as there isn't enough money to move forward yet. This building will eventually be sleeping courters and conference rooms for group gatherings. For now though, they set up these tents in the rooms for the counsellors and campers to sleep in. There are not enough cabins to hold all the kids that are here this week.
There is also two levels to this building
This the main building where we meet for sessions and food!

This is the same building, from a distance, that is under construction

Hey Melanie and William
I'm sure you guys are having a blast. That rope course would be amazing to do...I'm sure I would love it.
Well, just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you both, as well as the children that come to the camp. I pray that their hearts would be open to the love that God wants to shower on them.
