Sorry, this one is out of order. The next one is first.
I stayed Saturday night and Sunday morning in the capital of Tegucigalpa with a Honduran woman named Nidia. She spoke a little English, and I tried my best at a little Spanish, and we did alright. An instant friend. She goes to the church that Cristin served with during her time here. The church service on Sunday morning was an amazing send off. There were a surprising amount of people that spoke English in Teguc. I met a friend of Cristin's from K2 that is serving with the church for the next 2 months. It was a great morning. And after much anticipation and nerves I finally met Sheree after church and we headed out. I finally arrived at my final destination late Sunday afternoon: Catacamas, Honduras. It was very difficult for me to leave Tegucigalpa because of the amazing fellowship there with people that I had only known for less than 24 hours. (That's a very powerful testimony.) Aside from Sheree, who is totally fluent, I think that I am the only white (clueless) person for many miles. It has been difficult, and I think will continue to be for a little while. I keep reminding myself that I am here because I love God, and sometimes for love we don't always get to take the easy road.

Jen - so good to hear your story as you go along. It reminds me of our early days in Africa and thinking I would simply die, but as you pointed out your committment and knowledge about Who put you there takes over and you know you are right where you should be. We are praying for you.
Jen - just realized that since I have used your mom's username, etc and didn't sign my comments you have no idea that this is Gloria. She shared with us a youtube of driving through your town. I will say they have nicer cars than Senegal had! Love ya - Gloria Beery
