On Thursday night, after dark, we went out as a group to do street ministry. This involved us handing out tortillas and juice to people around downtown Tegucigalpa. The first stop we went to had a lot of small children. As soon as we parked the truck, a little girl ran over and jumped in beside Kayla. We got out, and a bunch of other kids swarmed around us, asking for hugs and wanting us to carry them. One girl ran right up to me (Katrina), and dragged me to an old playground. She held my hands, and lifted her feet up to Clinton. We began swinging them back and forth as other kids pushed her as if she was a swing. They jumped around us, waiting for their turn.
All of the kids wanted piggy back rides. They would speak to us in Spanish, and it didn't matter that we didn't understand. We then continued on and handed out more tortillas to teens and adults on the street. Some of our team had the chance to pray with some of the people. It was a blessing to be able to go out and provide a meal for so many people.
