We have arrived!

Bueños Dias. This is Amy and Matt, and the entire team saying hello from Predisan, Catacamas, Olancho, Honduras. We are all here safe and sound. We left yesterday at about 6 am from Nashville and arrived in Tegucigalpa at about 1 pm with 23 out of our 27 pieces of luggage. Unfortunately the airline decided the plane was full and some radio repeater ¨el loro¨ (the parrot) luggage didn´t get on the plane. Don´t worry though, the luggage should get here in time for the group to still complete the project, they will just have to do it at the end of the week instead of the beginning. After we arrived at Tegucigalpa we took a detour by BK, Burger King (el rey de hamburguesas) and then set out to Catacamas. To divert ourselves on the long bus ride we sang almost every song we knew. With ¨Burning Ring of Fire¨ being the song of choice of some of the group (we watched Walk the Line on the plane ride here). We arrived in Catacamas at around 7 pm and unloaded all out stuff and eat a lovely Honduran dinner complete with plantains, beef, rice, beans, and salad.

This morning we got up for breakfast at 7 am and came over here to Predisan to have a devotional with the Predisan staff. We sang some songs, every song we knew in spanish which was 2, and talked about their theme of the month, sincerity. Now the rest of the group is touring the facility of Predisan. We plan to organize all of the equipment after that and hope to set off for the mountains after lunch. Everything is going great, with the exception of the missing luggage. And to all the parents everyone is safe and healthy.

Please keep everything that we are doing in your prayers, especially the missing luggage, and we will see you all in a week with a thousand pictures and stories to share.

Well wouldn't you know, I forgot my blogger ID info, so have to be anonymous! We are so proud of all of you and our prayers are with you. Be safe, be industrious (I couldn't think of an engineering term), and walk with God as you minister to His children in Honduras. I hope your radio repeater finds its way to you soon!
