Hi this is the Fiesta team, Rachel, Kevin, Gaby, Gabriela, and Elizabeth! We´ve had a great trip so far here in San Marcos. We went to the first school on Monday. The roads we went on to get there were very muddy and bumpy. Part of the team rode on the back of the truck and some rode in the cab. When we got there the students welcomed us with signs they had made saying Thank you Sonlight Power and God bless you. Once we started to work, we saw clouds coming in. It started to rain but we were still able to complete the install in the record time of 2 hours and 35 minutes. The Fiesta team didn´t get to do everything we had planned because of the rain but Kevin had a good idea. He took polaroid pictures of all the kids that they got to keep. The kids had a lot of fun and were excited about the electricity, especially the TV. The trucks were late to pick us up, so we had to walk part of the way on the muddy, rough roads. We had to carry the ladders and all our equipment while we crossed bridges and rivers. The trucks eventually met us on the road and we drove the rest of the way.

We had an early start at the next school on Tuesday. We had breakfast and devotionals at 6 and left by 7. The roads were the worst we had been on and most of the team was hanging on for dear life in the back of the truck. Once we finally got to the school, the kids were waiting for us. The school was very nice with gardens around it that the kids had planted. It was foggy which kept the temperature cool and thankfully it never rained. One thing we noticed was that there wasn´t enough room to play outside, so we had to do the Fiesta in a classroom. But the kids still really enjoyed it. They really liked the monkey song with Kevin dancing like a monkey, the parachute and the balloon animals. They were really well behaved and we had a special time of praying over them. God really touched them and they accepted Jesus as their Savior. After that special time, we noticed the installation was finished and in another record time of 2 hours and 31 minutes. After the presentation, the teachers gave us a letter of recognition and pictures of the students. The students gave us traditional clay souveneirs. The students were very grateful and gave us all hugs before we left. The ride back was really fun and we saw a lot of the beautiful nature of Honduras. Our trip has been very sucessful so far and God has blessed us in many different ways. Please continue to pray for our team and Sonlight Power!
