Hey, it’s me, Hannah Bunting!
So far, we are having an amazing trip! The first day was great and humbling. It was reminding me of my muscle disease and that I kind of related to those people coming to get wheelchairs. The second day at the dump was so moving. It reminded me of how selfish the USA is, I mean, if those Hondurans at the dump had OUR GARBAGE to go through, they could be much better off than they are now, and that is only our garbage. The days before Hannah’s and Kike’s accidents were pretty much uneventful, exciting, but easy going. The day of the accident started out really great, but when Jon, Ken, and Joe raced out we were getting kind of worried. At first we were joking around that it was Brock because he was probably the most likely to get hurt, but when we did not hear anything from Jon, we started getting REALLY worried. As we started to get the details, slowly, one after the other, everyone started to break down. The whole experience was hard, but in the end, it brought the team together more than anything else possibly could. The days leading up to now have been pretty relaxing and uneventful. I have made MANY new friends and learned so much about how God shows his love for us. I am beginning to be very grateful for everything I have. I know that I hear that all of the time, to be grateful, but the realization and the reality of it all doesn’t set in like it does when you are in a country that has people, God’s people, digging through trash all day, every day, hardly making more than 0.2 lempira a day; 30 cents.

Rosey-
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you, you're teaching me a lot by your witness! We look forward to hearing more stories when you get home. Great post! Gracie loved your house, but she kept sniffing around looking for you! We thought about letting her leave some tootsie rolls for you, you'll have to wait and find out if we did!
Love,
Aunt Lisa
