Meeting Eduardo

This morning John was working on the blog. Our internet is still not working. Surprise, Surprise!! We are constantly sweeping the sand out of our room and front porch area – imagine that. We left around 11:30 am for Pandy Town to help Pastor Mesa and his wife feed 200 children. On the way we stopped at Anthony’s Key Resort for lunch – I think we really just wanted to see if Clinton was working today. We got to talk with him again and he has invited us to his home on Tuesday to meet his family – we are hoping it works out. Next, we stopped off at Eldon’s grocery store and bought cookies for 200 children as our contribution to the meal. We were told that they would began serving meals at 4:00 pm, but when we arrived no one was getting ready. We found Pastor Mesa and a guy named Eduardo outside in the back of the church. Eduardo spoke good English so he was able to be our interpreter as we talked to Pastor Mesa. We were told that something had happened to the water pump that supplies the church and the cooking/serving area. Without water they could not cook or clean and had no bathroom facilities. So they had canceled the meal for this evening. The Pastor’s wife had called Pastor Jennie and asked her to call Elmer to let us know, but we never got the message. We gave them the cookies we had picked up and they seemed appreciative of that. We hope to go back next Wednesday and help them feed lunch to the children. It was a long drive to Pandy Town to find out the meal had been canceled, but we were glad we came because we got to meet Eduardo who speaks English and of all places he used to live in the Indianapolis area. He had worked in Noblesville and all of the surrounding area as a painter. He has kids that still live on the west side of Indy. He was pulled over one evening while in Indiana and when they saw his license they deported him back to Honduras. I think he will be another great contact for us in Roatan. We made it back to Casa Isabella, but are hopeful we can help serve food next Wednesday.
