Nooooooooo!!!!

Today I got bad news. I can't leave ASAP for Mexico. I still have donors who have pledged support but not sent it in, and I guess they all need to have sent in money for me to count them as donors. So I need to talk with people to see if they really are going to support me, or if they aren't able to.

That was a big blow to find out that I can't leave the beginning of December. My last day at work is the day before Thanksgiving. I'm not sure now either how or if going to Honduras will fit into this anymore. So that is even sadder, I don't think I could handle having to tell people I'm not coming. My Salvadoran friends ask me every week when I'll be there, and if I can stay for a few weeks, etc. Fran keeps telling me he's ready right now to move out of his bedroom so I can stay there, and that he'll sleep in the hallway room if necesary so I can stay as long as possible. It's certainly nice to be loved! I was never planning on staying there too long for Christmas, maybe 3 weeks, and I'm not sure what will happen now, I'd have to get a round trip Portland to Tegus ticket which was not what I had planned.

My team leaders are leaving Mexico for the States the middle of January for a 2 month furlough, so if I'm not there by the time the leave, I may have to wait until they return. But that's not too likely, as some other team members could find someone to host me (the team leaders are the only ones who have an extra room for me to use). So the problem would just be me getting 4 suitcases on a bus from Mexico City to QRO, and I'm guessing that if I went on a weekend, Emil (honduran friend who lives in Mexico City) may be able to take two of my suitcases as his own and just be in QRO for day or two.

So that's where I'm at right now. Confused? Me too!! Please keep praying for me!
