Day Two: Just Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale

. . .a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, blah blah blah. . .three hour tour, THREE HOUR TOUR. . . 

November 15, 2011: Day two of our Vision Trip was our first full day in La Ceiba, Honduras.  Our team leader, Mike Pettengill,  gave us a tour of downtown La Ceiba (with a couple errands on the side).  We viewed the construction of the downtown ministry center as well as visiting Puerta de Esperanza, a women's home.

Our tour was slightly more colorful!

The home will house teenage women with children to assist and educate them 
with mom skills, job skills, and independence.

After our tour of downtown La Ceiba in the morning, we headed out to Armenia Bonito, a poor community on the outskirts of La Ceiba. We got to participate in Kids Club (think of a weekly Vacation Bible school or Sunday School class).  Erin is walking the kids through a (protestant) children's catechism where they learn a truth about God and memorize a verse.
