Day Tres?

Dear Mas Vida Followers,


It is hard to believe that it is only day three...or is it? We had a very long and AWESOME day today. The medical team had a single class of 116 students! That is 98 more than our class yesterday. We even had a few come in from the street, who heard our team teaching. The class was mainly pre-teens in what we would call high school. In Honduras, it is a college.

Usually the students would wear uniforms to school, but today was different. The Honduras Futbol team was playing Chile in The World Cup, so they proudly wore their blue and white jerseys. Even though Honduras lost the game, they still had smiles on their faces. The whole class was a success, and the whole team was blessed by all of these wonderful children. I was even more blessed by the number of young Honduran ladies in the audience that fell in love with "Guapo Mateo" as I was introduced by our translator Suzie.

After the class, our teams took to the street to deliver almost 100 packages of food for a local community in San Manuel. The feeling that you get when you are able to feed a family that otherwise may not have food, is indescribable. A picture may say a thousand words, but will never amount to the humbling aftershock of this awesome blessing.

It is off to bed now, so we can get an early start for tomorrow. We are looking at about 400 students tomorrow, broken up into two classes. Please pray for our teams health. The climate is taking a while to get used to. Also, Pray for each of the lives that we are able to touch during this mission.
