Sunday in Las Vegas

We just arrived in Las Vegas. Yesterday, Saturday, was a very long day. While we arrived in San Pedro Sula about noon --getting our luggage, shopping for school supplies to take to the villages, shopping for some other items we needed took most of the afternoon. We drove to San Francisco through a torrential rain storm and arrived at dusk-- but with enough daylight for Maureen & Laine to be amazed by how beautiful it is there. The mountains are gorgeous, everything is green, flowers everywhere. Today we spent the morning at the nutrition center getting a tour and playing with the kids. We´ve got gorgeous pictures-- but haven't been able to get them on a jump drive or found a way to upload them at the internet cafe. But we'll do our best - because the kids were beautiful.

The nutrition center does amazing work. Children who have been identified as malnourished are brought to the center with their mothers and siblings for an 8 week program that teaches them how to purify their drinking water, how to raise chickens for food and how to grow some fruits and vegetables. The kids were so beautiful - they showed us some birds they have as pets and they played ball with us (although we were melting in the sun!) We hope to get some pictures uploaded soon.

Hasta maƱana
Laurie, Laine & Maureen
