HOLA from Honduras!
This experience is beyond words. The children have touched my hearts with all the many smiles we get each moment they see us.
I'm taking a break from painting the beds with oil base paint- the fumes were getting to me so I thought I'd write a little. I painted walls yesterday and ran out of paint to give it a second coat.Others started this morning with the second coat, so I started up with the beds. I became very emotional yesterday to see the living condition of these children. Yet they are always so happy! They are very well taken care of and we certainly have witnessed children in worse conditions.
I'm going to go for now, it's almost lunch and i have to clean up my paint stuff.
Love to my children, grandson and all my friends,

Mom,
I can't wait to hear more stories. I'm So greatful for technology and blogging, that I get to spy and be in awe of all the wonderful projects you are doing at the Hogar.
I know you love to paint so I'm glad they put you on that project.
Anyways, enjoy all the kids and smiles. A smile is worth a thousand words, may you take it for all its worth.
I miss you here in Minnesota, but I know you & your group are doing amazing things.
You all are in my prayers.
Love,
Natalie Parrague
