Here's some photos from my first two days in Honduras. The trip was from June 10-18, but could have been much much longer if it was up to me!
On the plane leaving Kentucky
At the Airport after arriving in Honduras
Our ride from the airport to the complex where we stayed 
Where else does a Kentuckian eat for the first time in Honduras?
How about Kentucky Fried Chicken?
We stopped at a Fruit Market along the road
Honduras has the best pineapple I've ever had!
The family we stayed with all week (L-R):
Gabriel, Keith, Tanner, Joanna, Reina and Any
Our Entire Group (L-R):
Jim, Grant, Myself, Joel, Shannon, Sam, Rick, CJ & Josh
CJ, Shannon and myself shared this bedroom
Three of the girls that live on the complex where we stayed:
Yolanda, Anheleina and Daneila
Felipe - this boy smiled non-stop and would answer "si" (yes) to any and every question you asked him.
The first morning we were there, we did a craft with the kids at the complex (these kids are all orphans). We decorated water bottles with paint pens.

But it didn't stop him from getting it ALL over himself!
After spending the morning with the kids that live at the complex, we headed to the site where we would build the church.
This is the view from the site where we built the church.....the fog had drifted in during a morning down-pour.
This is the site for the church...the outline was already complete when we got there
This structure was built to keep the rain off the bags of concrete mix. It also served as a shelter for one of the Honduran men to sleep in at night. He would stay there each night to make sure the building materials were not stolen
The rain finally cleared off it turned out to be a really gorgeous day
We hiked down to visit the homes of two of the men building the church
Jacqueline and Brenda - two girls from El Zapote (where we built the church) who came to see us every day
Not sure what kind of plant this is - but it was really cool and really big!
This is a family that lives right in front of the complex where we stayed. Keith and Joanna are helping them to have a better life
One major thing they are doing is building them a shower/sink/toilet.....right now they do not have one
That's the gist of Days 1 & 2 - June 10 & 11....thanks for recapping my trip with me - more to come!!!
