  2. The relationships
  3. Baleadas!!
  4. Typically each morning we are working someone will shout, “Baleadas?!” and that is the queue that it is time for someone to make a run for baleadas. It’s the shared joy and laughter each time it comes up, and the fellowship that we get to have with each other as we partake in the heavenly goodness that are baleadas. It’s a simple reminder to myself that sometime the most enjoyable moments aren’t necessarily the biggest and most elaborate.

  4. The year we built the gigantic wall on the 3rd level, that even though we all about died, it was awesome to see it all come together and be completed as a team effort between us, the men from Roatan and the young guys from the court who helped get the material up the hill.
