Delightful hospitality of the host families:
Each pair of Americans was hosted by a Honduran family who are associated with the ministry of Christian Camping International. The warmth of the Latins was well appreciated by the North Americans who noticed how important family is to Latins. Meals were shared by aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and even neighbors!

Sights of the City:
The sights of the capital city, Tegucigalpa were found to be very interesting and in some ways reminiscent of Pittsburgh in that houses are built into the sides of mountains and hills.

Worship Services
Everyone attended church with their host families, and the duration of the church services ranged from 90 minutes to 4 hours!

Garrin and Cassidy,
The blog is a wonderful idea! We've enjoyed reading about your activities, seeing the pictures of your host family and the area where you are staying. Everyone has a smile on their face so we know everything is going well! Believe it or not, it is still raining in Pittsburgh. Hopefully, you are not experiencing the full rainy season in Honduras. Although we miss you, we know this is very meaningful to you and the people that you meet. Lives are being touched in countless ways.
PS Gracie is exhausted! Silly dog.....
Love,
Donna and Carlin
Teres and Kirsten,
Just a quick note to let you know that Deanne Fishers father passed away Tuesday evening. Jeff said he went peacefully. I passed along your sympathy's knowing you'd do just that. I hope you're all doing well and know that we miss you desperately!
Teresa and Kirsten,
It was so good to hear from the two of you. You literally made my day. I was walking around the house thinking it would be good to talk to you - wondering how you're doing and what you were up to and not 5 minutes later, I get a call from you. Lisa thank you so much for allowing the girls to call home. It was a treat beyond description.
Tons of love,
ME
