hello from maddie

Hi, this is Maddie. I am so excited for what’s to come and the adventures in store for the team. On our first day in Honduras we had Honduran Pizza Hut which is super good. If they had Honduran Pizza Hut in the United States the pizza would sell like “hot cakes”! We delivered wheel chairs to some Hondurans and it felt like we were changing lives and that all we had worked for was coming to a great result. On the second day we went to a Honduran public school where kids who lived at the dump would go to get an education. It was amazing seeing people give their time to help others. We then gave lunch to people living at the dump. We found that 800 people, just like us just in a different and more unlucky situation, lived at the dump. It was so sad and so moving and it made me feel like I was a super rich, American. Then I thought about all the food the United States throws away every day! We just have so much meat and perfectly good food that we just aren’t hungry for.

Since this weekend everybody has been just lounging around, working and sleeping. The meals have been great and the friends I’ve made are absolutely awesome. I miss my family from which I got at least million dollar masterpiece from my five year old sister and a definite award-winning and super sweet poem from my seven year old brother. I was touched by that mail and I miss them even more now. “I love you!” to my family at home. I can see how God is working through everybody these past few days. Everybody has a great story to tell, Hannah is safe in the US with her family, and Kike is getting better. I have loved this giant adventure and I hope to have more in the future.
