The class turned out to be a great success. These Fire Fighters were basically trained to do just that, fight fires. The country of Honduras does not have an EMS system. They have a couple of ambulances, and a few more fire trucks. We were told by the Bombaderes that they usually have two men on a fire truck. One to drive and one to work.
On another note, Honduras is also lacking one thing that we in America take for granted. Or at least I do. Natural Gas. So, instead of hot showers, or even warm showers for that matter, we have been taking "hail storms" at the hotel. The girls at the complex on the other hand knew from the start how to use the electric heater on the shower head, or "widow makers" as they are known. This term was created because of the SHOCK you get when turning it on. They told me about it, but I would rather be cold than DEAD!
God has blessed our team that has children at home to be able to talk to their family and kids at home via Skype. Andy and Amy were glowing when they got to see their babies at home. Gary has also got to keep track of his family, making sure that his son has mowed the lawn. Christina is keeping her husband up to date so he knows that she is safe, as this is her first trip away from him for this amount of time. (We "wuv" you Ed.) 
Pastor preached at church this morning, amazingly the interpreter could translate all of the "fragaisms". We have had a great day of rest and are now off to pass out food to a nearby town that is known as the "Cardboard City".
Until Tomorrow,
Matthew Reece for Team Mas Vida
