3 days in

Tomorrow will be my third day here, and already I feel I have been here for weeks. The Sorianos, Efrain's family are very open to me and have shown me such care that I feel I have been here forever. My plane ride over was very good. It was full of new friends at each leg of the trip. I met a Costa Rican woman who needed help getting a camera for her son. In Miami, I tried to help her, which led to her buying me breakfast and inviting me to Costa Rica to meet her family. Dangit! now I have to go to Costa Rica!

I also met a girl from San Pedro who is in charge of her youth group and is looking for projects for it. She heard me talk about Cocal Gracias, and is excited about the idea of helping us. She was very kind.

After two days here, It feels like I have done nothing but sleep. I think it is a combination of the all carb diet of rice and pasta, and also the insanely comfortable bed I have at Efrain's. Just let it get to 100 degrees in the house, and me laying on the bed, and I am gone. I don't even notice the mosquitoes.

I am really having fun with the family and am looking forward to heading to Puerto Cortes. Unbeknownst to me, there was a problem with my ride. No one can afford gas for the half hour drive, so they have all been calling around to see who can take me. I figured it out and told them I would be happy to pay for the gas. The relief was apparent on their faces. haha. Anyway, keep them all in your prayers.

quick note: Ciro and I were kicking the soccer ball around, and within two minutes of starting, he kicked my foot and I rolled it, spraining it pretty bad. Now the joke of the day is the gringo who only lasted two minutes. Ciro leaves out the part about kicking me. But when my foot gets better, I'm gonna kick him good.
