Rock Exploration Trip – Fall 2008

The Rock Visits (kind of)

by Aimee Paule

Last Friday a team from Missouri came to visit the church in Choluteca. The team was led by John Drage, Pastor of The Rock in Columbia, Missouri. The team was here for 4 days. They were able to see an overview of many of the projects the church doing in the communities. The Casa Hogar team went around with the group, and as usual, captured pictures of all their adventures.

The team arrived in Tegucigalpa at noon on Friday. We spent the afternoon traveling to Choluteca. We made a few stops along the way, one for a flat tire and another to visit a small colonial town in between Teguc and Choluteca.

On Saturday we visited Limon in the morning. First we went to the Tortilla Factory to show the team how the mothers make Tortillas. After visiting the Tortilla Factory, we walked over the Malnutrition Clinic to help feed the children and learn about the project there. Next, we visited the Daycare located next to the Clinic. The children sang a song to the group, and afterwards they served the children lunch- Spaghetti. Continue reading Rock Exploration Trip – Fall 2008
