We arrived at the church building in Cantarranas about 9:30. They are meeting in a house on the edge of town.
As always, we were welcomed with open arms hearts. Here is a link to a video of the congregation welcoming us with a song as we arrived.
I couldn't help but think during the service that this must be similar to how the early church met. Fellow believers, packed tightly in a house, worshiping together.
As an added treat and a special honor for Ms. Suzanne Young, Steve Teel (President of Baxter Institute) was with us to recognize her and Dr. Bill's work at Baxter.
And then Ricky and Carlos presented plaques to her in both English and Spanish in honor of everything she and Dr. Bill have done for the Honduran people.
Carlos also presented her with a special painting of Dr. Bill.
After the church service, we were treated to a wonderful meal prepared by the ladies of the congregation. Then we quickly set up for a medical clinic for the church members. Our medical team saw 53 patients and filled 188 prescriptions.
While the medical clinic was going on, the rest of us gave away clothing, shoes, eye glasses, and toys.
And we made some new friends :)
Finally, we drove back over the mountain to Valłe de Angellos for about a hour of shopping and then on to Tegucigalpa and KFC for supper. After supper, we were in for one last treat. Carlos' youngest son asked to be baptized in the Hotel pool and wanted Ricky to do the honors.
And then everybody in our group (under 30) decided to celebrate with Dillion by jumping in the pool with him! Definitely a fun night and a great end to a great day.
