Left in the dark......literally.

For the past 2 Sundays, I have been attempting to go to a church called Iglesia Impacto because they offer English translation headsets so that I can follow along with the sermon. Last Sunday we were not quite sure how to get there and after asking 2 different taxi drivers and a random lady standing on the sidewalk, we gave up and went to an all-Spanish speaking church. This Sunday, I was excited to finally be going to Impacto so I could understand what was going on around me. When we got there though, the building was pitch black - apparently the power went out (a very common occurance in Honduras). What this meant: no translation....again. Even without power, the sermon still went on and a lantern was placed on stage so the pastor could see. As for us in the audience, we weren't sure who we were sitting next to or what was going on around us. [To get an idea of how dark it really was: at one point a man walked up to the group of IST teachers attending that morning and started speaking English. We were so shocked we dared to ask, "Are you a gringo?" He was, but you know it's dark when you have to ask someone that!] Despite being left in the dark 2 weeks in a row, I am determined to not give up yet!
