Church on Sunday was wonderful. First we went to a small Moravian church morning service. The one-room church was packed, there was not a single empty chair and a few people had to stand in the back. I got to meet a few more of Lorena's family members there, she has family every where... it's fantastic. :) Then later, after a nice swim in the river, we went to a nearby evening service. This church wasn't Moravian but I felt right at home. It was a beautiful service with a strong message and plenty of time for worship. One thing that struck me most about this church was that it wasn't a church, or at least what most of us think of as a church. There were no walls, only wooden beams and a tin roof. The sound of the Hondurans worshiping flowed out to the surrounding neighborhood. This church was not open solely in a literal since either, it was warm and welcoming and made a great effort to reach out to the community. They run two buses every week to provide free transportation for anyone who wishes to attend their service. Which is a big deal in a city where many people do not own cars and public transportation can become expensive.

A missionary friend of mine flew in from the US yesterday, so we spent most of the day together. He brought some letters and goodies from home (thanks to everyone who sent something, it really made my day!), including my USB cord for my camera. I'm putting all my pictures on facebook because blogger is having a some trouble uploading them. We spent a good part of the day doing some shopping for the medical clinic in Ahuas, they are building a small solar panel tower and my friend is helping the with the construction. I was able to act as a translator on our little shopping trip, which was exciting :D. We are both flying to the clinic tomorrow! I should be there for about a week, then I will make my final trip to Belen and stay there for the remainder of my time in Honduras.
