Fallen trees

So first off, our apologies for not blogging in a while but we have been without electricity lately, let alone internet. So in the long duration that it has been since one of us last posted something, quite a few things have piled up that are blog worthy. First off for the past 3 days or so we have been having some pretty fierce weather - tons of rain and tons of wind. Unfortunately this leads to several different things happening here in Honduras. First of all, say good bye to consistent electricity, and hello to random electrical fires (this stems from really old wires shorting out with all of the wind and rain and then randomly frying transformers and starting the jungle on fire). Secondly it means that everybody here freaks out with the cold and starts wearing parkas, there was a news report here concerning the "extreme cold in San Pedro Sula" it was 66 that day. And lastly it means that the jungle goes through a bit of reorganization via tons of mud sliding all over the place and trees going down like they were boxing for Don King. I thought that trees had roots that were at least as deep as the trees are tall. But apparently not in the rainforest. They always fall down here by the roots and when you look at them you see that they have these tiny little roots for a tree that might be 40 or 50 feet tall.
We have been experiencing all of the above and in fact had a tree fall on the children's church portion of the church construction. It didn't do a huge deal of damage but it did knock down a portion of the wall. Interestingly this is the same wall that was knocked over last year by rain run-off. Anyways here are some pics of the tree and knocked over portion of the wall.





If the internet keeps up tonight I will post more, including the car shopping story that I promised in our update yet have thus far failed to deliver. - Eulogio
