We have all arrived safely in Honduras, and were met by Luis at the airport. The people here in Santa Cruz de Yojoa are so very friendly and helpful.
Yes, it is a little on the warm side, but our work site is partially shaded by a large mango tree. The foundation of the house was already complete on our arrival, so on the first day we fill in the floor with a great deal of dirt from the site, and began on one wall. David M is becoming quite the mason, and is in demand on each wall! Carol has been an incredible part of our team as a translator and a great worker. We have all commented on what a great group of people this team is.
We are staying at the Hotel Agua Azul, at Lake Yojoa, and drive half an hour to the site. There was a great deal of rain on Sunday, and a very loud thunderstorm last night. This time of year here it tends to rain each day in the late afternoon. We appreciate all the comments posted here, and look forward to updating our progress daily. We also hope to have some photos on the blog soon!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Jennifer, Troy's sister and Erin's sister-in-law. We're all happy that everything is going well and you are all safe. Our whole family is checking the blog regularly to see how it's going. David and Jennifer, if you are speaking to Erin, you can tell her that we are all wondering what Rebar is like!! haha...
Have fun!

Hello Jen, David and crew,
Hello, we are good friends of David and Jen. Kim, Olivia and I were happy to hear that you have made it safely to Honduras. While Kim and I sat poolside in Cancun, we marvelled at the fact that you would be building homes in the tropical heat. We were barley able to order drinks. Today in Comox, it was 17 degrees and rain. We send our hugs much love. We are proud of you all.
Take care
Brian, Kim and Olivia
I'm Rosanna, Anthony's sister. We are glad that you arrived safely (even though you don't have your luggage yet).
We read you emails and blogs everyday and I print them out so Mom and Dad can read them.
Joshua and Nicholas send hugs and kisses. They want you to take a photo of a "big bug"!
Talk to you soon,
Rosanna
Hi Jennifer, David, and Crew,
Thinking of you from the cool rain of the Comox Valley. Wanted to send a word of encouragement and admiration for your hot, hard work to create a home for someone. Hope you get to enjoy that beautiful beach at some point!
Love the Woodleys, Jinelle, Brian, Baylee and Brooke
Hi Jenn and David! How are you two? How is it going down there, it sounds wonderful so far and I'm sure you are going to be two brown berries when you come home! I hope your experience is everything you hoped for and I'm sure the people there are so appreciative of your efforts! Take good care of each other and have fun! Love, Nik
