Kyle and Amanda

So, it’s been a while since we’ve wrote anything on here. Amanda and are back in Honduras. We’ve been here for about five days. Allison is visiting family back in the States for a bit, so Amanda and I are staying at the EFP house and taking care of all of the girls. The girls have been really good lately, they’re getting along with each other really well, which always makes the day easier and more enjoyable. They’re always good, but usually someone is mad at another and arguing, normal kid stuff, so we’re constantly refereeing and keeping the peace. Lately though, they’re getting along really well and just having fun. Jenci is out of school today and tomorrow for some unknown reason, so she’s currently “doing” Cassie’s hair and “superman-ing” on Amanda’s feet (you know where they lay on your feet and you lay on your back and put them up in the air).

Sidenote: Right now I’m listening to Lecrae – Don’t Waste Your Life. If you like rap at all, even a little, you should get his Rebel album. He’s really good, and he has more theology in one of his songs than a lot of pulpits.

Last August my dad came down with Amanda’s family and Mark Hayes and we built the boat playground, but I wasn’t able to get a slide here in time for us to put it on when we built it. We FINALLY got one. I bought a really nice tube slide that swirls for only $99. They usually cost $480 at Home Depot, but they we’re getting rid of the last one. The problem was getting to Honduras from Tennessee. I got some shipping quotes and they wanted $1200 to get it here. INSANE! Long story short, FedEx shipped it to Honduras for FREE!!! It arrived here in Honduras about a week and a half ago, but it’s still at the FedEx location in another city. They need some kind of number from us before they will deliver it… and I have no clue what they are needing. So, pray that I can find out what they want and how to obtain what they want. I know that it seems like it would be no big deal, but I’ve hardly experienced anything that was simple to do here. Everything is always overly complex to do.

Yesterday was pretty hot, about 110 degrees, and for some reason they shut the power off in the city all day. So, that meant that there was no school either. So we went the beach all day. We had a great time, we went to a beach that Amanda and I had never been to. It was really clean, which is never the case, the water was super clear, and we were the only people there. The girls love the water, they’re all getting really good at swimming since we got the pool last year. They live in it and you can tell, because they are so dark.
