Being in Honduras is amazing! As soon as we got off the plane there was a feeling of excitement that no one could get rid of. Even when I was a little homesick I never lost my excitement for this trip! There is so much to learn here and all of the residents are so willing to share with us. When I first came here I thought we were going to make a huge impact, more then being impacted, but I was wrong. Everywhere I go I can see God working through people. For example, today our group went to a school for the children of people who work in a dump. The people living there are literally searching through piles of trash for food and shelter for their families. This school is providing education for children who live in the dump and I find that awesome. So far, all the people I met are so friendly and helpful, I feel very welcome. I hope that as this trip goes on we will make more bonds with the people here and both impact others and be impacted!
Awesome job, everyone! Thanks for the updates; we love hearing about what you and God are up to in Honduras.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your story and great perspective, Kyra! I woke up this morning thinking about you in Honduras, so I was so excited to see a post from you. Know that you and your team are being prayed for from afar.
ReplyDeleteKyra, I am excited for all of you!!! Reading your and Andrea and Ellie's updates brought tears to my eyes. These are exactly the experiences I prayed God would give you - HE IS SO FAITHFUL!!! We'll keep praying and you guys keep your eyes open for what He'll do next! Lots of Love to everyone.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having the kind of experience we hoped you would. Don't forget to take lots of pix - you won't want to forget this down the road. We love you and hope the rest of your trip is as eye opening as this has been so far!
ReplyDeleteYou already are making an impact and being impacted! God's blessings on you all as you learn from all these experiences!
ReplyDeleteAs you make memories of the things you see and the people you interact with, also try to take into your heart all the feelings you are having. Seeing how others must live can be very disheartening, but realizing that they are thanking God for their life will become an added motivation for you to give thanks every day! This is the kind of experience that will be with you for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteWe love you and we're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
