Iglesia = Church

Attending church with our family has been a unique experience each time. There is much singing of praises to God, much praying by different members of the congregation and enthusiastic preaching by Señor Neptali and other worship leaders.

March 18 is father's  day in Honduras. A special tribute was given on Sunday in worship. A whole minute of applause was given to all the fathers. At the end of the service, after a sermon on the responsibilities God gives to fathers,  all the fathers present stood in front and received hugs, kisses and blessings from the entire congregation.

Wish everyone could meet Gladys! She is awesome. Not only does she proudly keep our clothes clean, fix many of our meals and clean our room, she also takes great delight in teaching us Spanish, correcting our grammar and instructing us in the proper use of table manners. Gladys has a husband and two children. She works here every day.
