The In-Between Times


July 19

     Today Gracie decided to call off classes for the rest of the week except for the high school class. Instead, we spent the day helping the team finish the comodor (dining hall). We did sanding in the morning and painting in the afternoon. It’s been really neat being able to see two new buildings go up during our time here. This ministry is slowly getting bigger and bigger.

     The high school class went well as it has been. We were missing quite a few because of the ongoing school celebration, but we still had a good sized group.

     I learned how to make Pupusas (corn tortillas with cheese topped with a cabbage salad and more cheese) today! They’re soooo good! I’ve really been enjoying helping out in the kitchen. Evelin’s been teaching me a lot of Honduran food stuff and I’ve probably had more beans here within the past few weeks than I have ever had in my whole life! Not that I’m complaining though…the food here is great and I especially enjoy learning how to make it. It’s also a good bonding experience with the cooks and the girls who are assigned to kitchen duty. It’s another one of those in between times that God can still use no matter how simple it may seem.

“Don’t ever let anyone convince you that you have no power…All significant changes in the world start slowly, at a single time and place, with a single action.” –Jones, Haenfler, and Johnson

Big changes start from small things…
