The first day we spent 3.5 hours in a plane from Boston to Miami and then 3.5 hours in a different plane from Miami to San Pedro Sula Hondurus. After that we spent 4 hours in a van driving to Tegucigalpa. We got to see Aunt Loris and Uncle Marks house and then went to the Villa Gracia Mission house where we are staying.
The first day here a few of us went to a little village and put up four posts for the two new houses that we were going to build. We had to dig holes in the dirt for the posts that are the big beams in the corners of the houses.
The next day everyone got here and we all went back to the village and built two houses. Uncle Mark knows how build them and does it alot so he showed us what to do. I got to be good friends with a lot of new kids and worked on nailing with my friend Moses and my cousin Will.
The third day, Saturday, my cousin Carly married Kyle and I got to walk my aunt Cheryl into the church. We went to a big party after the wedding and danced alot with all my cousins.
On Sunday, today, we had a big brunch with everyone because most of the other people are leaving today and tomorrow. We played soccer on the field at the mission house for a long time.
We have had a hard time finding time to keep up with posting but we will try everyday to write.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
Anybody know how my hockey team did this weekend.
Miles; It sounds like you are having a great time and learning a lot. Thank you for sharing it with us.

ReplyDeleteHi Miles, Is it fun there? I hope all the people are happy that you gave them presents.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone from John Fuller. We just read all of your questions and we hope to answer them all in this email. First of all I miss all of you too! It is very warm here but we like it. It is hard to build a house since we have to carry all the equipment and wood up the mountain by hand. It takes a long time to do that. We have built homes for 3 families in 1 week! We are not near the ocean and we do not have a pool where we stay. We are staying at a mission house on top of a mountain. They make us breakfast every morning and everyone eats together. I have not climb trees but have climbed up onto walls while building. There are many dogs here, they live on the streets and in the mountains, many of them do not have enough food and water. We have seen few cats but the ones we have seen are sick from no food and shelter. I really love it here and have made good friends with one family of children, they live alone but their big brother Joni takes care of them. Their names are Melvin, Onada, Mirna, and Mario. Their Cousin Christian is who we buy Christmas for each year. The children in the mountains love to get present but more s they love to see us and get hugs. Thank you for your questions. I will see you all soon. Miles.
ReplyDeleteOpps I left out the hockey answers, no I have not seen any hockey rinks and I did not bring my equipment.
ReplyDeleteHi Miles, The blog is great. We are home safe and sound, a long travel day. Mia did great although alittle fussy at times. I am missing everyone already and am so happy we were all together. You did an awesome job buddy and Thanks for walking me down the aisle at the wedding. I love you tons. Aunt Cheryl
ReplyDeleteHey Miles,
ReplyDeleteIt was SO SO SO SO good to see you in Honduras! I just read through your blog, and it's great! Everyone in your class is so lucky that you did such a good job describing your trip, maybe one day they'll want to go and do the same thing! :) I loved reading all of their questions too.
Well, enjoy the very different, snowy weather at home, and I'll do the same! Tell your mom and dad hi for me!
