Week 2

I pray this finds everyone enjoying the day that the Lord has given them! The weather in Honduras this week has been rainy and in the low 90s! This week has been full of wonderful adventures. I have successfully driven three times in the busy San Pedro Sula! Hondurans drive a little different than we do in the states. At first glance you may think there is not any order to their driving, but driving in it you find the order quickly! I have yet to see a wreck and would love to keep it that way. I bought a guitar this week and Wilmer is keeping me busy learning how to play. I should be able to start a band by next week…just kidding! There are so many things that I enjoy daily here. One of them is hearing the passion in people's voices as they share their heart with you. Their plans, dreams, hopes, and their love for Jesus! My heart is at home here in Honduras. Pastor Dennis and his wife Tammy had me over for lunch yesterday. They have a son, Denisito. It was so pleasant to have an afternoon of fellowship with Tammy! She is a wonderful woman of God, dedicated to her family, the ministry but most importantly the Lord. She prepared a delicious meal and Pastor Dennis shared his vision with me about opening a bi-lingual school in August. He has asked me to help teach the children English. I am super excited! I have planned to get my teaching degree upon returning to the states (if and when). Also as a child I wanted to be a teacher and now God has taken that dream and is making it a reality! He is SOOOO good! Next week Tammy is going to take me to check into language schools for my Spanish. I am learning from my roommate, Giselle, but I think it may be beneficial to take formal classes. Hopefully next week we will also be travelling to the Ruins of Copan to prepare for a crusade at the end of July. I am pretty fluent in Spanglish, but the natives just look at me funny when I speak it J! I have found a Starbucks replacement…the Granita! It is a frozen coffee and costs 20 lempiras ($1). So on special occasions we take turns buying them for one another. I have ventured into cooking a few meals for Giselle and she has made a few for me. Just as I look puzzled at some of her dishes she is equally unsure about mine. The oven doesn't work in our stove so I am not able to bake delicious cookies and cakes. It is probably a good thing, less sweet things less ants. Ants and I have had a bad beginning, but I am praying through enjoying their creation (as I spray them with deadly poisonJ). There are two large iguanas that reside outside of my room window on the concrete wall. They seem harmless, but look ferocious! I enjoy looking at them from a distance. I look forward to my prayer times each day and find myself holding my breath waiting in excitement to see what the Lord is going to do each day! The Word of God continues to surprise me each day with revelations from Heaven as I am dedicated to responsibly seeking out the truth. Serving Jesus is all I ever want to do and is more satisfying than anything I have ever experienced! I hope that you ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to you today in a way that you have never known or experienced. I love each of you dearly and hope that you embrace the joy that is available to you from above! Love others with all that you have and seek God as you venture throughout your day!
