Goodbye Honduras

Whether its leaving Summer Camp, moving out of your college dorms, or leaving a foreign country after 25 days, its always hard saying goodbye to your new found friends. In my case today, it was saying bye to my new family. I felt very much a member of the Gutierrez family. We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. More importantly, we bonded greatly over the times we spent together. For example, my brothers and I, built a garden in the backyard for our Mom here, because she wants to plant some flowers. Whats great about the Gutierrez family, they love to learn and they love to teach. Just like me! Some things I was able to pass on to my fam
1. Shared the Povertees story along with some Povergoodies
2. Taught my brothers each a Led Zeppelin song on the guitar.
3. Shared some English curse words.
4. Showed that its Ok for grown men to be scared of oversized bugs

Some things my Honduran siblings taught me
1. How to play street soccer(see blogs below)
2. A few Honduran bad words
3. How to get 6 guys 2 miles down the road with 3 bikes.
4. How to get rid of a GIGANTIC buttefly. (see blog below)
5. That avocados go with every meal.
6. Most importantly, they showed me how to be truly generous. They showed me that Generosity isn't limited to people you already care about or even people who deserve it for that matter. Generosity is for everyone. Its for strangers who ask for a place to sleep for 25 days. Its a quality I hope my family will have someday, but I know it will never quite be the truly humble and generous Gutierrez family of 13.

Thank you so much Gutierrez Family. I love you guys.
