The Last Week in Honduras

My last week in Honduras was a great one! I won't bore you with intricate details this time, but will do some pictures instead...

This is the family of Pastor Marvin from Santa Rosa (a small community outside of Tegus). They have been praying for me for a year and a half in my preparations to go to Mexico, and are continuing to pray for me now! They ask that I please pray for them as well, for direction in their ministry - be that pastoring in Santa Rosa, or starting a new church in rural Honduras. This is an amazing family, I was able to visit them twice while I was in Honduras, and ran into Pastor Marvin one day on the bus, and his wife Perla on the bus another day. I think I randomly run into more people that I know here in Tegus than I did in Salem!

This is Alejandra and Alma. Alejandra used to live in Tegus, but her famimly moved to Siguatepeque a year ago. I had wanted to go there to visit them, but didn't get a chance too. Alejandra randomly showed up at my house the day before I left! Yay!

I went to the Centro or Comayaguela (the market area of Tegus) almost every day for the past week. Here is Karlita, Amalita, and Flor in the Central Plaza of Tegus.

My little brother Rondald and I. Ronald is going to be a pastor. He wants to go to a seminary in Siguatepeque, but it's expensive. We are looking for sponsors or financial help for him, so he will be able to follow the Lord's leading to the ministry!


I also got to visit with my missionary friend Michelle the last full day I was in Honduras. She was in the States until the end of December, then went to visit a family in another town for a few days after arriving here. We had a good long talk and it was great to be able to learn from a somewhat veteran missionary and hear more about what is going on in Honduras!

Hey! I am so glad you had such a great time in Honduras and I am looking forward to hearing about your experiences in Mexico. I'll send up an extra prayer for your friends in Honduras, especially the Pastor and his family and your friend who is going to be a Pastor.
I'll be in Nica in 2 days and I can't wait!! :)
