'Tis muy muy muy calor in Central America

Well, another hot and sunny Central American day. Were any of you aware that Honduras was once the southern part of the Mayan empire? :-) The strangest part about today was that it did not rain. At all. It was only hot and sunny. And Danny (and the rest of us) sweated like waterfalls because it was muy calor.

We had several new adventures today. As was already mentioned, Nick thinks the waspers are out to get him. Not only that, but he also suspected an innocent butterfly of plotting an attack. He now thinks anything with a pair of wings and six legs is his enemy. He is prepared to wage war... today, however, the first battle was lost when a wasp succeeded in stinging him. Ah, well. The war shall commence again in the morning.

Needless to say, his antics very much amused the rest of us. Deanna says she nearly died she was laughing so hard... either that or was about to wet her skirt. I (Sarah) just enjoyed the way he would cringe and close his eyes every time a bug came near him, and say, "Is it gone yet?! Is it gone?!"

Nick wasn't the only one who enjoyed the Battle of the Bugs. Angel happened to stand on an ant hill after we finished painting today, and the ants waged war on her feet, ankles, and legs. Do not worry, she survived.

There was also a deadly snake found by JJ. It was contained by the time I got there, so I took pictures of it inside a water bottle.

Nick said to remind you all that the waspers don't speak English. He hollered at them plenty of times, but is convinced now that they only speak Spanish.

Tonight we had the privilege of going to chapel with the Bible School students. We all thoroughly enjoyed singing familiar hymns in Spanish, and listening to them sing a few songs that were unfamiliar to us. Carlos (one of the students that we met) is very good on the drums. After the singing, the students separated into small groups and went to their different classrooms. We also separated and mingled with them. I joined one group with Angel, Deanna, and Steph. We couldn't understand everything the man said, but we did not get bored... there was a lizard in the window, lots of huge bugs flying around the room, and a young boy who snickered at Angel when a bug scared her. The fellow sitting next to me was kind enough to remove one of the offending bugs from my hair. I was grateful.

I know, this is another long post. I enjoy typing a lot. Especially when I haven't typed all day... the internet had trouble deciding if it wanted to work today. It is now working though, so I shall post about the day. I am glad all of you are continuing to follow our blog, and continuing to enjoy what we have to say. :-)

We all love you much, and pray that the Lord blesses you. Buenos noches!

Dios los bendiga!

Sarah
