First day bullet point report!


Jeremy requested bullet points as he has a short attention span so we will accommodate him at least on the first day:

- Jeremy, Carter and Oie saw us off at the airport.
- Uneventful flights to Miami and Tegucigalpa; Mike, Ginger and Gerardo met us at the airport in Tegucigalpa. Applause for the pilot on landing in Tegucigalpa.
- No KFC; instead lunch at the mission house in Tegucigalpa: sandwich bar, fresh fruit, and chips
- Dennis drove truck to Choluteca with our bags in it; Kristen and David rode with him; don't know what happened but each of them said drive to Tegucigalpa was highlight of their day, maybe because Bob was in the van with the rest of us
- Gerardo drove the van; lets just say it was adventuresome but we got here safe and sound.
- Lots of hugs for Orphelio
- Pizza Hut pizza for dinner.
- Low key, relaxed orientation. Welcoming attitude and encouraging spirit.
- We will start with house for Felipe Reyes Pineda (a blind man) and his wife and daughter in the morning.
- Second house will be for Pastor Ancelmo Herrera Zelaya; he and his wife and four kids have been living in the Sunday School rooms at the church as he has insisted NC Baptist Men build for others in the congregation and community before him. Now it is our turn to be the hands and feet of Jesus in building his family a house. How awesome is that?
- Trip to Maxi Bodega to buy boombox and to Wendy's to get Bob, Ginger and Kristen Frosty's. Kristen eats fries dipped in Frosty.
- Quiet reflective devotional time; Bob plays guitar, all share thought for the day, Steve reads scripture, listen to two songs by Jeremy Waller on the new boombox.
- Missing Tom, Brian and Keith; glad to have Bob back in the saddle. He may be a "Bobo" but he is our Bobo.
- Acronym for the week: HBAD = Humor Bob; Ask Dennis. Joel and Hee Haw have dubbed Dennis "TL 1" and Bob "TL 1.5"
- Ginger understands IAAB (It's all about Bob) and has come up with her own acronym when Bob gets out of control: BABB = Be a blessing, Bob!
- Goodnight and God be with you all! The work begins tomorrow!
