Support Needs
i just wanted to give you all an update on how my support raising is going! I currently am at just a little under $5,000 and still need a little over $7,000. I want to encourage you all that if you felt led to give, that you would give in smaller monthly increments, rather than a larger one-time gift. You can do all this very easily and simply by going to CTI's website, ctimusic.org, and going to the donate page and following the instructions from there. God Bless You All!!!!!!!!!!!

BACK FROM HONDURAS!
Hello Again!
I first off would like to apologize for my tardiness and lack of posts. Currently, I am sitting in the team room, after lunch writing this post. I am surrounded with people and guitars. Just how I like it. Many people are on their laptops writing things as well, and others are eating or talking. As I sit here in the serenity I think back on my time in Honduras. I think of Mauricio, the head of the Central American YFC, and our time at the waterfall, and the Futbol game we went to, and a thousand other things. I think the main thing that is going through my mind is how I am feeling towards Honduras. I miss it yeah, but not really like other people on my team do. I am wondering why that is. I definitely loved it there and would go back whenever but I don’t really miss it. :/ I don’t think it’s really a bad thing, but its just curious to me. Ok, anyway, a little about Honduras. It is a beautiful country, filled with many people who have one thing all in common. They all love futbol! They live for futbol! It was a blast to be able to go to the game of Honduras vs. USA. We all wore Honduras jerseys so we "blended in".
Now some about the people we met there. FIrst off, Mauricio, like i said before is the Director of YFC not only in Honduras, but also of all of Central America. He was our bus driver, concert planner, roadie, everything. He was THE MAN. Another few were Brenda, basically our mom for the month, and Sanitago, who just helped us around and hung out with us. Both of them were YFC volunteers.
i want to tell you about a waterfall we went too. First off, it was huge. Mauricio said we can go down into the waterfall for a small prcie with a guide. So we are thinking its really safe and stuff so we go down, but Mauricio said we had to wear shoes, couldnt take cameras or towels or glasses or anything! so we start to go down and we eventually actually do go INTO the waterfall. Like actually into it. It was so rad! We had to hold hands so no one would get lost or anything and we had to completely trust the guide or else we really could have died. It was completely worth the five or so bucks that it cost and the lessons i took form that I still think about.
Well, thats all for now! check out pictures on my facebook for more!

Open Road
The next day we woke up at 5:30 to play at a church a halfhour away at 8:30, then we went to another church to play at 10:30. We played a simple acoustic set because the average age of the congregation was about 60-70. After that we had church in the basement of the second church and then went to a 97 year old ladies house and played some hymns we knew and just talked. That was super cool!!! She was truly a blessing to us. After that, we napped until 530, then went to dinner at our contacts house at 6. That was the most delicious meal i have eaten in a long time. Topped off with apple pie and ice cream!!!! after that, we came back to the house and hung out a bit, then us guys played poker til about midnight.
Today was our day off. We woke up and had breakfast at 9, then went to Pike's Peak Park (No joke) and went on a little hike. That was very cool and scenic and then just sat at the park and hung out and saw a Walking Stick!!!!! Now we are at the coffee shop which is the only place with internet for a while around.
Tomorrow our plan is to have lunch at a nursing home and then after that we will play for the old people that are there. This town is a very oldperson town so there are quite a few old people here! Which is kinda cool because they are always accepting and glad to have us which is very cool!
This is all for now.
