Hello everyone! This morning started bright and early...we were up and at it by 6:30am, that is what time we had to meet in the lobby and go to breakfast. Some of the YOMERS (YOMERS = Youth On Missions Person) did not know there was such a time in the morning. We had a 'very good' breakfast at the motel...they had empanadas which made me very happy. We are having a small language barrier, Jeremy Perry asked for 'apple' juice twice and ended up with 'pineapple'...but it's all good. You learn to smile and say 'gracious'.

After we got everyone fed, loaded, and ready we headed off on our three hour bus ride to Lake Yojoa. To start the day off, Bro. Mike Jackson from Springfield did the morning devotion and since Tia Meadors was the last one on the bus she got to lead us in a song. After about twenty minutes into the ride, the bus driver probably thought that everyone had drank special kool-aide and went peacefully into 'deep sleep'...it was very quiet on the bus since everyone went to sleep.

We woke up at the lake where we went swimming, horse back riding, boat riding, ate lunch, and played some ping-pong and pool. It was awesome time of relaxation and 'get-to-know-you' time with the YOMERS. After leaving the lake we drove back to Tegucigalpa (this city has many pronounciations by the YOMERS) and went to Bro. and Sis. Schreckhise's house. They let us invade their house for supper, we had paposes (sp?), ice cream and cake. It was awesome! Then we got to play with their children on the trampoline and game box. I found out that I'm a little old to be playing 'tag' on the trampoline after eating a large meal.

Below will be some clips from our travel today. The pictures that I said would be on the moyouth page are in transit...I was not able to get them transported last night. They should be there later tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy it!

Mike Jackson saved from an allegator:



Yomers Swimming



Bro. Brad took these guys out into the water where it was about 80 ft. deep and let them swim around. They did this because there are allegators up in the marshy area by the shore, and they didn't want us to come home minus a few fingers or toes.

While these were swimming others of us went on a boat ride out to the Talapia farms, where they raise fish to be shipped out. The lake was beautiful!!

That's all for today...until later
