Honduran Culture

This week, the three interns and I have been in Siguatepeque, a city about two hours away from Tegucigalpa, HN. We have been spending the week with the wonderful people here at the YWAM base. Throughout the week, we have been doing seminars and activities involving Honduran culture. This has been a perfect way for the interns to spend their first week here, learning a lot about the people they are here to serve. We have learned how to make lots of traditional Honduran foods, learned some new slang words, and even learned how to do a typical Honduran dance. Yes, we looked like dancing fools, but that isn't even the best part. Last night we had a block party on the street outside the base, with tons of food (that we helped prepare), a fun band, and tons of people. At the beginning of the party, we performed the dance we had learned in front of everyone.... We were also wearing some traditional Honduran outfits, too. It was such a blast! This week has been such an amazing learning experience for all of us. It has been such an honor and a blessing to learn so much about the people and culture that has such a huge place in my heart. So here are some pictures!
