Honduras- Day 2- The Dump in La Ceiba

Thursday and it was time to go to the dump and help with a medical clinic. This was a very powerful experiance. The people at the dump are squaters. They wait for the trash to be covered up and the build a shack on it and that I home. the kids are running every where. Most with no shoes and very little clothes. Most all of the clothes I see are donations from the US. It is strange to see kids running around with old uniforms shirts sponcered by some hardware store in the US. The people here are awsome. Very nice and open. Health care is none exsistant here. Sores in the mouth, worms and skin wounds are every where. It rripped my heart out. Lucky for me I had to leave to buy building supplies for Limon. This is the nearist store. I will have to come back to this because I still have not processed what I've seen.

We went to church with Mario, his churched welcomed us and rewally had a great worship session with some great music and powerful messages. The passion for Christ is huge and right in your face. You don't have to wonder are these people are Christiens, you only have to look.

I hope I look like that.

Honduras Day 1- San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba

Man, it is a long way from Florence to La Ceiba. I've been moving for 19 hrs. We made it to Honduras with no problems. When we arrived we loaded everything up and thought we would be eating lunch in San Pedro Sula, well we ended up eating at the airport.

The police closed the road leaving the airport because of protesters. Well they were not really protesters, the ousted pres. had some friend hire some guys to protest. It got real hot out on the road so they just went home. We only got held up about an hour.

Drving it very interesting here. They haven no rules and very little signs and signals. We almost killed several people but no one seemed to mind. The people are very nice. Hotel is nice but has a mildew problem. I will have to put up with it for 2 nights.

We are going to the dump in the morning for a clinic then shopping for supplies. I'm sure that will be very interesting. Well I got to go andwash the fear of t he road off of me.

Honduras

As I write this I've noticed that it's been 7 months since I updated this blog. Gotta work on that.
It is my last night at home before I leave for Honduras. This trip has been a totally new thing for me. In every thing I have done I have always done it my way. From the start all I have done is say yes to what ever God ask of me and that is it.

Had no money for the trip. God touched the heart of lots of good people and bam, money taken care of.

Not sure about work. God times it so an awesome Christian manager gives the ok.

Military coup. Ok, didn't see that coming. So what to do? Well, God made every thing else happen so no since changing things now. If God wants my there, then there I'll be.

Say a prayer for me. I'll try to update this blog as much as possible.
