Christmas is Tomorrow!

You might think I am crazy, but tomorrow is Christmas for the Hedgepath's. Our shipment is to arrive at our warehouse tomorrow morning at 7:00 am. We will be there ready and waiting with bells on. I am eager to see what it looks like. We have not seen our belongings since May. It will be great to dig through all the boxes and remember what we packed. I am sure we will be surprised with each box. It is going to be a great day!

We had a rewarding and frustrating day in Honduras today. We got in the truck this morning to go to the church to help pass out chickens to the children who are in the food program, but the truck would not start. I believe it was Shelly's driving yesterday but we won't go into that right now. Just kidding. The battery was dead. So what do you do in Honduras when that happens...start walking. And that is what we did. It was good exercise!

What a great experience we had at the church building. Each family got 4 chickens so that they can get more protein in their diets with the eggs. I was in charge of tying their feet together so the families could carry all of them home upsidedown. What an adventure!

Since we did not have a truck to drive, we stayed at home and waited for Jarrod to bring his toolbox so we could fix the battery. The battery cables were corroded and needed to be tightened but since all my tools are on the shipment and not here yet, we sat and waited. Honduras tries your patience.

We cut a deal with Jarrod and Ally and offered to provide the spaghetti and sauce if they would provide the meat and we would have supper together and give us a chance to check all our emails at their house since we were not able to go to the office today. It is nice to sit with another family and talk new and interesting things.

I forgot to tell something historic about today...Shelly milked one of our cows! ON THE FIRST TRY! She was so excited. We have pictures of everything today and will try to get them on the blog the next couple of days.

Adios.
