We left Atlanta at 0-dark-30 and headed to the airport. There were two groups; some of us were on United Airlines through Houston and others on American through Miami. Amazingly, we ended up making it to the Palmerola airport in Honduras within about 15 minutes of each other around noon local time. Getting through customs and immigration was a long process and several of our 21 bags were selected for inspection, but we ultimately got everything to the curb and were able to load the bus and head toward Casa Lamb with our seven brave and fearless missioners led by volunteer coordinator Jose Santos. We grabbed a late lunch and then started organizing all of the towels, shower shoes and pillowcases we brought for the children at Casa Hogar in San Buenaventura. By the time we finished getting the organizing done, did a Compline service and had a late snack of pupusas (prepared by our wonderful cook Dulce), we were all ready to crash for the night. It was a successful first day in Honduras!
Peace,
Jay
