The word ocupado in Spanish means busy in English. Boy, do we know that meaning of that word. It seems that 2007 has already flown by with this being the last day of February! Where does time go? We had 33 men from TN and TX here last week working around the clock to build our first home at Mission Lazarus Refuge. They completed 75% of the house and it looks great. Thank you men for your GREAT work!
We escorted them to the airport on Friday and came home to find out that we did not have water. Have you ever gone without water for a day? Don't misunderstand me, I mean no water anywhere. It is hard to clean yourself, make food, wash dishes, maintain life without water. We have a man coming to our house at 4 pm today to fix the problem. This will be his 3rd visit. We will see what he comes up with this time. The motor to our pump burned out.
Life in Honduras makes you wonder how people do it around the world. People without anything get by with nothing. Have you ever thought about that? I don't know how they manage. It has been a pain living without water for 5 days, think about for your whole life. Did I mention that you cannot even flush the toilet? I admire those who have nothing. They are truly stronger than I am. I will not be taking water for granted as soon as we have it. Enjoy yours for me for right now. Adios.
