Honduras Day 7

Today was the relax day. Woke up and attended church, via internet at Disciples' Fellowship in Bham. Fever went down some not all the way but I am on the road to recovery. Thankfully, no one else is sick. Went to go see Jonathan play soccer at about 11 this morning. His team did really well; he scored a sick goal and they won 5-1, or 5-2. We went to go shopping at Lori, Mark's wife, store that sells Mi Esperanza stuff. Mi Esperanza means my hope and is all about educating woman to break the cycle of poverty. They make pottery, dresses, jewelry, and other neat things. So, Ben and I went shopping there for some people and finally decided on what to get. Y'all should check out that ministry at http://thewomenofmyhope.org/. After that, we came back to the house and Jonathan brought his playstation 2 over to play a FIFA tournament. After about 3 hours, Garrett won, I came in second, Jonathan in third, and Ben in fourth. Ben got eliminated because Jonathan said so. We then went to Creolos and met up with some of Garrett's friends from Unite for Sight. Ben and I got some chicken nachos. Saw Baskin Robbins across the street and decided it would be a good desert. Stopped by Baskin Robbins and had a good talk with everyone about the poverty cycle in developing countries versus developed countries. One of the disheartening things to hear was when Mark told us that the really wealthy Hondurans who live on the mountain are building a concrete wall to keep the rich from having to look at the poor Hondurans. The poverty cycle here is so much more difficult to get out of because of how extreme their conditions are. That is why Mi Esperanza equips some of these women to break this cycle. Anyways, we are home now chilling out and taking it easy. Tomorrow, might check out some waterfalls towards the coast depending on how everyone feels. Keep praying!
