Day 7

Today was culture day for us. We started the day with a delicious breakfast as usual and had our morning devotions. We then loaded up and headed to meet Gabby and her dad, Omar, to do a tour of the Coffee Farm. We got to see the beans and try some raw beans which are really sweet. We then returned to the house to where they roast the beans. We got to see the dryer for the beans. We were going to watch the roasting process but the machine was broken down. We went into the house where Gabby and her mom, Edda, made coffee with a perk and a slow drip. Their coffee beans are Arabica beans.

After we left Gabby's we went to La Carpa de Doris which translates to messy chicken. Our driver, Otoniel, joined us as well as our translator, Laura. We then went to the leather shop and then to the market where we were able to look around and do some shopping. After the market we all gathered in front of the Siguatepeque sign. When we were finished at the Square we went to the Spanish Institute where we were able to take a tour and learn what they are about and what they offer.

We went to La Casita De Los Chicharrones for supper where Melodie joined us. There we all had the option to order from a variety of different foods. After another delicious meal here in Honduras we headed back to Cerro and had a little down time. Some of our group went to the store with Melodie to get some snacks for the group. When they got back we had some time to visit with Melo before doing our nightly devotions as a team. When we do our nightly devotions we each talk about a highlight of our day. Matt wasn't able to join us as he was feeling a little under the weather and went to bed early, so please pray for him. It was a day of adventure. Thanks to all our FBC and Open Arms family for your continued prayers.
