When it rains...
you can apparently still get sunburned if you live in Honduras!
Dave, Elizah, and I went with our friend Miguel to the beach on Saturday. We took the bus to Sambo Creek (a Garifunas village where life is not the same as in the big city...) and then walked to the beach out front of a hotel called Helen's. (Which, by the way, is where we'll stay for a few nights if you come visit us beacause it's ON the beach, beautiful and around $25 a night for a 2 person room!) We got in the water and played in the sand, only being asked for money by a weird guy once! :)
We were in the water, honing our football skills by throwing a coconut back and forth, when all of a sudden, Dave felt a sharp sting. We ran, terrified, to shore to figure out that he was stung by a jellyfish! It swelled a bit and turned red, but apparently (according to the staff at the hotel) there are no secondary effects... The swelling subsided and the pain went away and all was good as new. We ate lunch and hung around for a while longer. Then, around 3pm we went home.

... To discover that we were FUSHIA! Turns out if you're a gringo/gringa and you don't use sunscreen you will get burned EVEN IF IT'S RAINING! heh... we certainly learned our lesson. From now on, I'm wearing sunscreen to bed! We've been showing our love for each other by applying aloe and lotion to each other's backs. What devotion!
We love and miss you all, but GOD IS GOOD and He is blessing us left and right here! Our prayers are with you as we know yours are with us!
Much love,
Becky

I LOVE YOU DAD!!!!!!!! I couln't stop telling people yesterday and today about it! You are awesome!
Love,
Becky
