Greetings from Copan! It feels like coming to our second
home when we get here. We did things a little different this time. Instead of
leaving Midland on a 5:00 AM flight and making the entire trip in one day, we
left on a later flight. This got us into San Pedro Sula around 9:15 (Honduran
time…10:15 Texas time). When we got to San Pedro it was too late to make the 3
1/2 – 4 hour drive to Copan, so we stayed at a bed and breakfast that is owned
by Jimmy, our driver. After a short night and a wonderful breakfast cooked by
Jimmy’s wife, Sandra, we began the drive to Copan.
It was so good to see Steve and Audrey Long! They always
make us feel welcome, and it is such a blessing to spend time with them. Of
course Yadira was there waiting to feed us when we arrived at the Mission
House. After a late lunch we relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Tonight we
walked to supper in town. We are heading to bed so we can get an early start on
things tomorrow.
As usual, the motto in Honduras is “FLEXIBILITY”!! That was
the same today. Yadira told us that instead of attending the church we always
do tomorrow, we will doing things a “little” different. We are going to one of
the villages where Edgardo does Bible studies. Edgardo has asked that Mark
preach. Talk about spur of the moment. But as usual, Mark is up for the
challenge. Please be in prayer in the morning as he shares the word in one of
the villages. This will be a new experience. He has spoken many times, but he
has not shared on a Sunday morning before. I’m anxious to see what God is going
to do through him. The Bible tells us we
are to be willing vessels. He will supply what we need!
I will be posting pictures on the blog as soon as we can get
the kinks worked out. Until then, we will post on FBC’s Facebook page and tag
everyone in the group.
Prayers!
