Busy Little Bees
Alarm chimes interrupted our sleep at 4:45 am. We shuffled like the walking dead into the shuttle and made our way to the Atlanta airport. Seven hours later we experienced one of the softest Honduran landings I can remember. That means only three people lost their teeth and the applause was only moderate. The moment we stepped foot in Honduras we slammed our feet on the accelerator. Our container was ready. Boxes full of clothing and supplies filled the warehouse at the Mi Esperanza compound and seemed an insurmountable mountain waiting to be climbed. We spent the afternoon moving and organizing all the things our friends and loved ones so thoughtfully donated. In the morning we'll be building our first house and sharing some of what you've given. We're excited to be used by God for sure but, if the sight of several Torch member's mouths agape in slumber on the first real mountain bus ride says anything, we are exhausted.

Dear Paul,
ReplyDeleteWe are excited to hear about all the opportunities and how you all are serving God in Honduras. Building his kingdom there as you build homes for the needy. It is a great calling. I hope you feel the prayers for strength as I know how tired you all are. Keep sending updates. It is like spending a week in your shirt pocket when we hear from you. love, Ginger
Thanks for keeping us informed as you all do God's work in Honduras.
