"Hola!"from Tegucigalpa, Honduras!
The team safely arrived on Saturday afternoon, and we've been on the move ever since. 
After getting settled at the Mission House, the packing of the meds began. We had a little help from translators in figuring out proper dosages in Spanish.




The food here is amazing- we have had the opportunity to experience many dishes unique to Central America. Chef Griffin has even learned how to make papooses (that is most likely not how that dish is spelled). 
Sunday morning was spent at the Basilica where we worshipped with our Honduran brothers and sisters for upwards of three hours. The service began with a special processional, and we're not sure how it ended because the entire service was in Spanish, but it was fun experiencing the different cultural worship.



Here's a group shot of our team: 




We are here with another medical team from Oklahoma. Here we all are at lunch on Sunday. 


Sunday night, we had a pizza party with a few Honduran medical students. It was interesting being able to compare their medical training to ours in the States. Hopefully, our new friends will be able to come out to the clinics and work with us after their classes. 

Monday marks our first day of clinic here in Tegucigalpa. We'll have a full update on both the hospital team as well as the clinic team. 

Thank you for your prayers! Specific needs include patience with the language barrier, strength to get through the physical demands the day will bring, safety in health, and of course, that we will constantly be aware of opportunities to preach the gospel of Christ's love to these precious people of Honduras.
