It is truly beautiful here and there was time to take a walk about the property early in the morning before Erika arrived to take us on our day.  The nights are quiet here, though I think the roosters here  are up earlier and most certainly the birds are!  The place we are living is the original house that the owner had built,  Lots of room with a nice centre sitting area for our sharing time in the evening.  




At the edge of the property just over the ridge is a lovely stream in a peaceful setting.  















A few eggs are needed to feed 58 hungry boys.  These eggs have come from the farm.

" Act justly. Love mercy. Walk Humbly with God."  Micah 2:2
We left about 9:30 to head to hear and learn about the Micah project.  There is a new beautiful complex built in the country which is a group  home to house 20 boys and young men who have all had anguished childhoods on the streets of  Tegucigalpa and have mostly been addicted to street drugs.  It has been an amazing and wonderful ministry as these kids have had their lives transformed from  street kids to engineers, teachers, missionaries and good husbands and fathers.  We were most impressed with the facilities and the work they do there.









On to the farm and were were greeted by Abraim who we seem to see each year.  He teaches English to the boys and so likes to practice on the North Americans.   It was lunch time and yes, we were hungry.  A delicious lunch before Abraim took us on a tour.  Along with the crops that are grown there, there is a full compliment of farm animals and we saw chicks who  were just a few days old   As well, a 1 day old and 5 day old calf.  All fascinating to us city folk.  

The morning finds the kids working in the fields and gardens, but the afternoon, they are in class,   We were on a number of new roads today and this year, there seemed to be more rain than we have seen in the past at this time of year and so many areas were much greener than we are used to.

En route, we get to see alot of the city and the countryside.  We are amazed at how hilly it is and the work that must be involved in getting up to one's homes on the hills.

 Craft time was a little more chaotic tonight but fun. The boys had a great time making duct tape wallets and puzzles and painting and also baking Rice Krispie squares with Ros.

When it came time to share the goodies, there was a stampede to get to the kitchen.  Meanwhile Peter and Alan worked with the boys on a jig saw puzzle, Dave was n the kitchen helping Ros, Sarah was doing art and Michael and Rick were trying to help Janice keep the duct tape from sticking everywhere.  Not very successful!.   

Tonight in our time together, we prayed for the children of the Micah Project and for the children of El Hogar, being thankful for all those who care for them, nurture  and love them.
