Trip to Lago de Yojoa and Pulhapanzak Falls

Two weekends ago, Faith and I went to Lago de Yojoa, a huge lake near San Pedro Sula, and then to Pulhapanzak falls, a 43 meter waterfall. Here are some photos!!

Some kids I will miss...


Now it's less than two weeks, and every day is a little bit stranger. To think about leaving. Faith and I went to the theater to ask about taking the kids to Shrek, bad news: Shrek is only coming to San Pedro Sula, not to Progreso. And the only one we could take them to would be Spiderman, but it is in English. So the movies are a no. So instead we are taking the Las Flores kids to the pool and having a barbecue at La Montana for those kids. It should go well I hope.
Here are just a few more photos of Las Flores kids...

Almost done

So it's June now and I only have weeks left here. It's a bit strange because I've been counting by months for so long, when people ask how much time I have left... it was always four months, two months, now it is so strange to say, "three weeks."

Still with three weeks left, I'm already getting quite emotional. I'm really excited to see everyone at home, sad to leave Pronino, nervous about fitting back into things at home...

Faith and I are hoping to be able to take the kids from both centers to see Shrek 3 as our going away gift. Most of the volunteers have a little party at whichever center they worked at before they go, with cake, soda, and a pinata. But the kids just love going out on little trips so much, I hope that we can do that for them. There's one little movie theater in Progreso, that shows one movie a week, and hopefully Shrek 3 will be there in two weeks. We're just hoping that it is dubbed in Spanish, not with subtitles, otherwise the kids won't all be able to read them.

Three more weeks!!
