Service Team Arrives in Honduras ...Safe and Sound!

This message is for all the family and friends of the 10 individuals on the service team that arrived in Honduras today! Sharon has contacted me tonight by cell phone and asked me to make this post. Due to lighting showers which are quite common in the mountains, the Internet service is disrupted tonight. She made several attempts to write a blog post herself to no avail!

All members of the service team have made it safe and sound! They are settling in for the evening at their home away from home in the village of Concepcion del Norte!  Sharon said that there are many smiling faces all eager to begin work tomorrow on the Los Angelitos' de Deysi Guarderia (Day care Facility)!  Jessica is doing very well, with no issues or complications. For those who did not know, team member Jessica Marass injured her ankle on last Friday and left this morning from Logan airport with a walking air cast and crutches along with shear determination to remain "On the Island" as Jessica wrote in an email to me yesterday, when deciding if she should cancel her trip or go!  Jessica is "On the Island" and doing fine!  As is all the other team members.

Sharon said she will try again tomorrow to update the blog from the mountain tops of Honduras, after their days work ends on the building refurbish efforts!  Keep checking here for updates.
