Coming Home

Our last few hours in Honduras. We will be leaving the hotel around 9:30 - 10:00 after eating breakfast. Parents, get ready for a suitcase full of dirty, smelly clothes and shoes. We will travel by bus to San Pedro Sulu and wait for our plane to take us to San Salvador (at least I think that is where we are going? That's where we flew into on the way over to Honduras, so I am thinking that it is the same on the way back. Keith isn't up for me to verify, but I do know that we are supposed to be getting into the Miami airport around 2:00 a.m. Hopefully we will be able to retrieve all our bags quickly at that time in the morning and get on the road. We will stop for breakfast and hopefully arrive in time for church services tomorrow.

Keith gave a phenomenal final devotional last night at the Jesus statue. We finished a great but emotional day from the special needs orphanage visit, handing out food and clothing to the needy at Union, blind school visit and then the Jesus statue. As we looked at this statue of Jesus that is approximately 150 feet tall, it is a very visable reminder of why we are here in Honduras. Jesus is very much in our hearts and minds while we are here. Keith challenged us all to keep Jesus in the forefront of our thoughts, minds and hearts when we return. Let's not forget that the joy we feel now can be and should be felt all year long. There are so many people in our community that need us to reach out to them, just as we do here. It's a big challenge as we come off this spiritual high, but one we all will strive to maintain and with the Lord's help can achieve. God's blessings to you all. See you soon.
