Oh my! Thank you, Lord for bringing
me back to Honduras! I’m SO thankful for the opportunity to be here with the
Chorti for the 3rd time. I have been truly blessed by these past 6
days, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.
Thank you,
church, for the many prayers. I could definitely feel them, and after
struggling the 2nd day, the 3rd and 4th were
MUCH better! I need to also thank a wonderful angel who sent me here. I was
unable to pay for the trip (with 2 in college…..go figure!), but someone took
care of the whole trip! It truly blessed me in an amazing way.
The beauty
of this country is hard to take in: the tropical mountainsides, the beautiful
shades of green, and the bursts of colorful flowers. In amongst the beauty are
the Chorti, a very loving, humble, impoverished people. They have been pushed
into the mountains and forced into poverty. They are very intelligent and use
resources in amazing ways. They plant crops on the sides of mountains, harness
solar power and recycle debris for natural gas. They use plants for medicine,
food, and decoration. They welcomed strangers from a land far away with nothing
to offer but prayer into their homes.
As
I get ready to leave, I take with me the smiles of the children, the tears of
those prayed for and the many handshakes from my new friends. I will be back
because I am leaving my heart here in Honduras.
