Ariel's Hondorus Adventure

Hi everyone-
I know I said I would get pictures from my trip up after the 29th . Sorry it is taking so long :-( I am in the process of completing EMT school. My trip was great, but I missed 3 classes when I was gone. and have had to catch up on those classes which I finally have, but also work on these last classes. We have a test for every chapter, so all my spare time has been going into studying. I know alot of people have asked about pictures, and I'm really sorry I havn't been able to get them up. I still need to sort them etc... I think my final test is on the 26th, so after that HOPEFULLY life will slow down and I can get those pictures up. I have been working on them a little bit at a time... there are just allot of pictures. Thanks to everyone who helped me get there and thanks even more for your patience:-) Ariel

On April 21st I will be traveling to Honduras to help build a house with Habitat for Humanity.

I’ve always liked to build things. Last year, I learned a lot about construction when I helped my brother-in-law Joseph re-model our house. I loved watching our kitchen being transformed into a beautiful kitchen from the smashed and demolished ruins left behind by his back hoe. (I was actually thrilled to see it fall, our house was desperately begging for Hurricane Joseph to come through)J. I learn best by doing things with people who know what they’re doing, and got to help with just about every aspect of construction, from the foundation, to the hardwood floors. My favorite things were putting up drywall and spackling (NOT!!), but I really did enjoy learning to do all those things. I learned how to “properly” cut in and apply even coats of paint from a professional painter. Then, last summer, I did makeovers on most of the upstairs bedrooms and learned about and applied different faux textures to the rooms.

The HFH houses in Honduras are much simpler then the houses built in North America. They are simple concrete block structures with two bedrooms, a bath and a combined kitchen and living room. I’m really looking forward to the whole experience. Not only will I be able to help out a family in need of a home, I’ll get to see first hand another part of the world and learn the Honduran methods of building. We will be working right alongside the Honduran people, so I will be able to experience their culture and way of living. Maybe it will even make my Spanish lessons worthwhile ;-) I’m also hoping to get some good pictures of Honduras and the Mayan ruins in CopanJ. As most of you know, I love taking pictures!

I would greatly appreciate your prayers
Thanks for visiting- Ariel Destiny
