The team has established a tradition that each year we travel to Trujillo, Honduras on Sunday morning. Pastor Oro and his family always goes with us to enjoy a special time of relaxing and sharing christian fellowship with our Honduran brothers and sisters. For those thinking why weren't we in church? Because it's so hot in Honduras most churches have their Sunday services in the Sunday evening.

| Trujillo is a city located in the Caribbean north coast of Honduras, in a location that is considered to be like a frontier between the civilization and the rain forest region of La Mosquitia in East Honduras. The Bay of Trujillo is the turning point where the modern civilization in Honduras comes to an end, and the jungles of La Mosquitia begin. |

| Not many people actually go the top of these mountains, so chances are you will only have this view in a photo like the one above. However, if you are in the beach of Trujillo, you can easily spot the mountains in the background. |

After spending the day in Trujillo enjoying the beach we headed over to downtown Trujillo and toured the the area where Christopher Columbus landed.
Now a little bit of history. Trujillo is one of the oldest cities in America. Christopher Columbus landed on Trujillo on his fourth and last voyage to the Americas in the year 1502. This was the first place in the mainland of the new world of the Americas where the Spanish put their feet for the first time, before this event the Spanish had only been in some islands in the Caribbean, but in the mainland of America Trujillo was the first place ever.
When Christopher Columbus landed on Trujillo, the first ever catholic mass on the American continent mainland was celebrated. A few years ago in 2002 we celebrated 500 years after the first mass in America back in 1502. A lot of time has gone since Columbus landed on Trujillo.
