Dear friends and family,
Except for a nail in a plane tire and some minor turbulance (that made us all think we were going to die) we arrived safely in San Pedro Sula. Mary, the nutrition center director, met us at the airport and collected us and our bags. After trip to local super store for supplies, we headed to MAMA´s guest house. Isabel cooked for us and helped us with our Spanish translations of the toothbrushing songs we will use in each village. Her son, Herson, named our puppets for us.
The heat is formidable, but the night was cooler after tremendous storms. We have learned the Spanish words for thunder and lightening! We made a visit to the nutrition center and got a chance to meet some of the kids. We hope to post some pictures of them tomorrow. We´re now in Las Vegas. We´ll have our first clinic tomorrow.
Ramon, Mila´s son, escorted us to the internet cafe and we are running out of time. So better go. But if any 18 year old girl is looking for the perfect boy... he is it! He now has 3 extra Moms since Donna loves him as much as Laurie and Maureen do.
Wish us well tomorrow. Buenos noches,
Donna, Laurie, Maureen, Kristi, Laine and Emily
