First Day

So, First off, I won't usually be blogging THIS much, but I'm at Melissa's still, and we've just been hanging out, and I don't want to be pestering them all the time, and so I came on here.  

God is SO good. He's so evident here in Honduras, especially at the Church Viva Abudante.  So here's the review of what's  been going on:  I got to Melissa's and we had homemade tomales and great coffee from the mountains of Honduras, and Melissa and I had a talk about what her dreams and hopes were to make a difference.  She talked about how she wants to go into medicine because she loves people, and feels a want to serve her fellow Hondurans in that way.. She's been studying so hard and she's so excited.  It's sooo cool to talk to other young adults, especially Christian, about how they want to make a difference by serving God by serving Hondurans.  She is such a beautiful sister in Christ for me! and her sister Heidi is also awesome and hilarious and really awesome.

We then took a taxi to the mall and then walked to the Church from there after meeting a friend. I loved walking through the streets of the capital not as a group of gringos, but with locals and just seeing and being.  The driving here is as crazy as ever. haha. Anyway, at the church I met so many new awesome people, luckily they all spoke english as well.  Yet, I really want to practice my spanish and I'm kinda scared I won't be doing that, with everyone speaking english to me, and Stacey always being with me.  But I know Melissa's going to challenge me to talk spanish a lot more. haha

I met with Stacey and Kathy at the Church, and we talked about plans for the next week with teaching... we didn't get too far, because they were just telling me things about what to expect.  I had to show Stacey my "stern voice"... I think I passed! haha After that talk, I suddenly got VERY tired and I was exghusted from the day.  We drove back to Melissa's, where we hung out a little bit, and then I just went to bed... I was poooooped.

I woke up at 7:30 this morning, which surprised me quite a bit... but I took a shower, had an amazing pancake breakfast, and now I'm just hanging out!

I'm not sure what I'm up to today and tomorrow... I know we have youth group at 4, and then I leave Melissa's to go to Don Julio's house where i'll be staying most of the time now.

Adios, God bless, and THANK GOD for the universal love that God had when he sent His son to die, not only for you and me and North Americans, but also for Hondurans, orphan or not.  I love seeing God moving through this Honduran Youth Group! It's awesome!
