Honduras Mission Trip 2016: Did you let them wear their heads?

Today a few of us were blessed to go visit a private Christian school where one of our interpreters wife happens to be principal. This is not a typical school in Honduras. This school first of all was a Christian school but also bi-lingual English/Spanish speak. The children and staff spoke very good English and even sang to us a few songs. The school is from pre-K through 6th grade, and growing.

What a great experience it was to be able to visit this school and see the wonderful work they are doing with the children. As one of our team members said, it shows the Hope in Honduras, for change and a better future.

We began with the pre-k children and they sang us several songs in English after we had told a bible story and sang a song to them. Videos are below.

We then toured the school and visited each grade and talked with the children and teachers. The 5th grade classroom was a lot of fun because they love to learn about the USA and social studies is one of their favorite subjects. We spent a long time talking about the USA and allowing them to ask questions. They were a lot of fun.

Some of you may be wondering about the title of this blog - it is an odd one, but there is a story. Leslie, our oldest missioner at the young age of 88, is known for coming out with some funny statements. Most of it due to the lack of hearing that she has but sometimes she just comes out with funny stuff. One day she thought I said I had lost my teeth. This particular day we were discussing the uniforms that the children wear at the school. After Karina the principal had finished telling us about the uniforms, and what they wear, Leslie asked - do you sometimes let them wear their heads. (See picture below and it will make sense)

We all love Leslie.

Another productive day on the work front, with construction making progress, and the other areas learning to work in the dark and without power for most of the day. Not unusual in Honduras. See Dawns post for more information.

Until tomorrow.

Blessings
