Music and Magicians

Our second day of classes, and everyone seems to be finding their niche and getting into a rhythm.  Somehow, Cuatro missed the memo, and continues to operate at random according to his whims. :)

Raindrop adores helping Sarah and her Mom, Ms. Karen, teach arts and crafts. At lunch break she came to me beaming, telling me how she's made so many new Honduran friends, and how she can't wait to make some more!

Songbird was asked to help in the 8th and 9th grade English classes and truly rose to the occasion.  She mentioned several times tonight the activities she'll be helping with tomorrow.  

Bro alternated between helping out in Hubry's class and working on the cinder block wall.  The Mobile group told me that although Bro is a lad of few words, he is a hard-worker.  And of course, as soon as Conner gets home from school and finishes his homework, they are off playing with paper airplanes, cars, or soccer balls.

Corrie was able to teach a music class today, which we all enjoyed peaking our heads in on.  She was teaching 4 boys to play a praise song on the guitar.  I think they'll get to practice it again on Thursday afternoon.

For afternoon devotions a group from Florida stopped by to give a special Gospel message via magic and interpretive dance.  If it piques your curiosity, you'll have to ask us about it later!

Years ago, when I spent a semester abroad in Las Mangas, I met Martin and Wendy.  They were starting a clinic in Rio Viejo, which at the time was a one-room cinderblock building.  This afternoon  we took a tour of the clinic, which is now the Jack Dyer Regional Hospital, and is located across the street from the school.  The hospital has recently started delivering babies, doing minor surgeries, and hosting a weekly clinic where they treat everyone who shows up.  That's right, they turn no one away.  They simply work until all the needs have been met.  It is pretty incredible and is meeting a great need in the river valley!

P.S. I am unable to post pictures from my camera until after I return home, so most of my photos are coming from Corrie's phone at present.  I hope to add many more in a few weeks!
