Wrapping up and the End of a Good Week

Getting to the blog the past few days has been challenging, due to very little time and slow internet.  But, back in the USA and will do a little catching up.

Saturday, has traditionally been a site seeing day for the team and so that is what we did.  We began our day at the church for breakfast and worship.  When we got to the church, the doors were not unlocked so we decided to do worship right there outside on the steps.  Anyone who has ever been on one of these trips, knows you sometimes just have to do  and flexibility is very important! So, we pulled out our worship books and broke into song, prayer and a reading!  People watched and smiled as they walked by.

After breakfast, we all headed back to the hotel and loaded up the Kia trucks with all our luggage and remaining mission supplies.  It always amazes me how much of a task it is to get all of this stuff loaded, and how our local Honduran translators have this perfected.  Someone always says its not going to fit, yet it always does!

Once we were all loaded up, 2 van loads of people drove to Valle De Angeles - a more touristy area - with local crafts and souvenirs.

Its definitely a different feeling here, than all the other places we work, and a good place to unwind from the week.  And, they have good coffee!

After our little excursion, we drive to the traditional Pupusa place and eat lunch, before visiting the Christ Statue.

 The Christ Statue - built and finished not too long before the Hurricane of 1998 hit.  Many were surprised it was still standing.

We finished off our sightseeing for the day and headed to our hotel for the night for a little rest, before our celebration dinner.  At the dinner we get time to sit and unwind and talk about the week, and thank all of our translators for all they have done for us.

Sunday morning, a few went to visit the mission house and then we all went to the airport to catch our flights home to our families.  Only a few delays but not too bad all in all.

Glad to be home, but glad to be able to do the Lords work. 

As believers, we are called to actively spread God's words and love to make a positive difference in the world, whether it be our loved ones, or strangers from another country. 


"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  

Matthew 28:19-20
