I wish it would have been ants in my pants...

I am such a girl when it comes to cochroaches. I know this may come as a suprise to some of you who know me well, since all my life I have acted tough, but cucaraches are my enemy. I hate them. They make me scream like a girl. I know they don´t bite or anything but they terrify me. Experts say the best way to get over a fear is face it straight on... so living in Honduras I get to do that quite regularly.

But, I still wish it would have been ants in my pants. I can´t prove it, and I really hope it isn´t true but I´m pretty sure there was one in my pants. I had just laid down on the bed to read and I felt something kind of wet feeling on my calf so I lifted up my jeans to see what it was. I didn´t see anything so I laid back down to read. That´s when I felt the nasty creature crawling on my foot, swatted it off, screamed for my brave husband to come save me, and ran into the living room shaking.

Needless to say it was a little difficult to get back in the bed I had been attacked in but after making Will check it multiple times I was able to go to sleep. Haha!

Other happenings...

Xiomara had her baby boy! He weighed 8 pounds. He doesn´t have a name yet, which is fairly normal in latin american culture not to name a baby sometimes for a month or so. We got to go to the hospital the day he was born, the 15th, and visit her and Henry her husband. Xiomara is a neat lady that goes to church in Mogote who I have known since the first time I came here.

We are signing a contract today to move into our new rent house at 2¨00. I am so excited. Today we are going to go look for the essentials, a bed, a fridge, and a shower curtain.

Life is getting back to routine now. Yesterday we worked in Mogote finishing up the wall, the benches, and just doing little stuff around the church. We watched Honduras play Jamaica from a restaurant here with Darwin, Ariel, and Fernando. It was a really exciting environment to watch soccer in with the entire restaruant cheering and screaming.

We had a major decision to make with Amber and it looks as though we will be staying here in Teguc. However, this decision gave us a jump start to start a big project, the tech school. Also with Amber´s help I´d like to get a church soccer league going soon too.

It was so nice and encouraging to have Jessica and Jon here, family is a great thing that never goes away. It is so fun to show Honduras to people because it really is impossible to put into words. You just have to see it. So come visit.

Things are good in Honduras.
