Honduras From Jacob

This week has been absolutely amazing! I could not possibly say everything i want to about this week. I'll start off with the children. They are adorable. They are the most hard-working children I have ever had the chance to interact with. There was a boy that was probably 2 years old that was carrying a bag full of groceries behind his mother. He did not complain and never made an angry face, and there was no telling how long the boy had been walking because the nearest town was miles away. There was another boy who was probably 7 and had been chopping wood for his family's stove since sunup. In America we are so spoiled. We get upset when our parents ask us to dust or vacuum or clean our room. Or at least I do sometimes. The children are also the most energetic and hapy children i have ever seen. We walk into a village and they smile from then until we leave. When we would play games they would never get distracted or bored, like children in the United States. They were so easily entertained. They would play one game for hours and hours. As you were in the village you could tell that they did not get loved on as much as we do in the states. It was truly amazing to show them the love of God and see their eyes light up with happiness.

Secondly i would like to talk about the adults. They are so thankful and have a yearning to learn about God. In one village they told us about their ag project. The leader of tthe village firsst said thank you to God for everything, but then he thanked us numerous times for supporting them and being there. Although I had done absolutely nothing. I was truly humbled by his gratefulness. When we prayed the leader would start but then all the people would start pratying out loud as well. You would here English, Spanish, and occasionally Chorti. It was amazing how powerful the presence of God was in those moments.

Lastly i am going to talk about the translators. The leaders name was Edguardo. These poeple were so passionate for the word of God to be spoken to these villages. We had numerous other translators as well, and i would like to thank them because without them this would have been impossible.

The landscapes down here are beautiful. I have never seen so much green in one place in my life. The mountains and valleys and rivers are truly magnificent. It seems so easy to see God through his creation.

God has been truly amazing this week. He has shown me how truly blessed I really am. He has shown me to always be thankful and give him all the honor and glory. This has been a truly amazing and wonderful trip. Thank you for your support and prayers throughout this week.
