We´re here...well, most of us!

It´s Sunday morning, we´ve had breakfast, and we are dressed and ready to go to church. We´ll be visiting the Philidelphia church, where we´ve been several times before. The church is located just down the street from the ABC center (the orphanage).

Getting here was peaceful and wonderful. In years past, it has taken 18 hours of travel time to get here, but this year they had us come through Houston, and it took less than 8! That meant arriving with some energy still!

Everyone´s hearts are ready for whatever challenges await us. Challenges at the airport usually mean opportunities to witness to the airport staff and be a blessing to them. This year, both groups traveled peacefully. Thus, it was an easy day of travel.

Now, that´s not to say there wasn´t a hitch: 5 guys got bumped from their flight at the OKC airport. From what I hear, the guys are really excited about the opportunity to be bumped and have an additional adventure on their way here. They are taking a van to Houston and arriving here in Honduras later this afternoon. Perfect timing to catch up and ride with us on the cross-country treck to La Ceiba, where we´ll be for the rest of the week.

Hopefully, we will have internet access at our next hotel, too. If so, we´ll let you know how things are going!

Excited to be going to church with local believers today. Then we get to visit the feeding center we built last year. The neighborhood wanted to wait until we came back this year before they dedicated the building to the Lord. Really sweet for them to want to include us in the festivities. Today promises to be really fun.

Yesterday, a group of us got to go to church with a different local body who teaches the children and youth on Saturday evenings. The Pastor and his wife have designed services so that youth teach the children´s program for the first few hours and then have their own service right after. In this way, they are discipling the youth for ministry every week. Sweet spirit in the church and very hospitable smiles and hugs! We had a good time.

Hugs to all of you!
May God bless you as you as you also walk among Believers and non-Believers during your day today!!
