Feliz Cumpleanos

Tonight we had the privilege of celebrating a birthday with a family in the community. One small house + 60-70 people(5 men, a dozen women and mostly children) + Loud spanish childrens music + rice and bread and birthday cake + One Smurf pinata = A Honduran Birthday Celebration! After a slow, lazy day we were stimulated to the MAX at this party! The energy was contagious and we all had a great time!

Yesterday began the new labor room project. We emptied the new room of its original items and added some power outlets for all the equipment the room will require. Now we wait....The room will get paint on one wall on monday then a good floor wax on tuesday. Our last day will be spent moving everything in and getting it operational.
Amber and Kathy found a procedure gurney and were able to get it cleaned up and working. This will be great and take the place of the examination table for delivery until the official labor and delivery beds arrive next month.

We had our first tarantula sighting last night just outside the Hoopers room! He was a big one! Kathy also had a huge roach hiding under her bible on her bed! Bugs everywhere!

Thanks for all your continued thoughts and prayers,
The Team

That's one sweet rhinoceros beetle! I've not yet seen one that's alive or that incredibly big!
