Honduras Arrival

Food stand along side of the road. There were many stands that we went by.

We were able to wake up at 3:00AM, park the cars in the parking garage, and make it to the airport by 4:00AM. We took off from Chicago, made our connecting flight with only one hour of a layover in Atlanta. We were able to hang out with several other mission teams on the plane. We were welcomed in San Pedro Sula with warm weather and a great blessing when we found out that our check in luggage arrived with us on the plane.  Jake and his friend picked us up in their truck and SUV and we drove for 4.5 hours on pothole filled cement and dirt/rock  roads. We were able to see the magnificent views from the roads on the mountains. We were able to wave to several Hondurans as they yelled out “Gringo” with excitement. We were able to see the coffee fields and a lot of different construction houses. I will show a few more photos of our trip in a following blog. We arrived in La Union, found out our beds, ate Spaghetti, reviewed the game plan for the week. It is now 7:30pm and we are ready for bed as it is raining outside and we are quite tired.

I give God lots of praise for a smooth day which could have been very filled with issues.  Everyone says hi and we thought we would let you know that we made it safely. We can’t wait to see what God has planned for this week. If it is anything like today, great things are going to come from this week.
