Today Honduras' new president (Pepe Lobo) was put into office. Not only was this history in the making as Honduras is taking back their country and trying to get back on their feet again, but it also meant no school for us because many streets were shut down for the inauguration. I want to thank all of you for your prayers these past few months for Honduras and the lack of peace we had been experiencing. Things have definitely calmed down and returned to normal......let's hope now that the new president is in place that things continue down this path.
With a full day off of school, us teachers were free to do what we wanted = which resulted in a picture scavenger hunt all over Loarque (our community). It was a lot of fun and good to be outside for a long period of time since that doesn't happen often. Lots of laughs were shared as we traipsed all over our neighborhoods while the Hondurans looked at us like we were crazy. We even ended up in the middle of a pick up soccer game with a bunch of Honduran guys who had no idea why a bunch of white girls were jumping in their game. I seriously am blessed to have such a great community of North Americans to hang out with because we find plenty of ways to entertain ourselves!
The rest of the day included lunch with friends, a little down time to myself, and now Bible study in a little bit. Not a bad way to spend a day off of school, that's for sure!
