Sunday worship and visiting at Gracias a Dios

What an incredible day! We were welcomed warmly by our friends at Central Mennonite church of SanPedro Sula. The worship was amazing and spirit-filled. Brent's sermon was a blessing to many. We enjoyed the lunch we shared with friends we met last summer at Mennonite World conference. We also enjoyed many conversations during our meal and made new friends. Right after that we drove to Gracias a Dios. The language barrier was felt a little more here since many at Central Mennonita spoke English. I think I can speak for Bob and myself that we were touched by our opportunity to see so many of our friends. We enjoyed some pizza together and some cake. (Yes, it seems like all we do is eat!) For me personally, saying goodbye was extremely difficult. I probably will not be in Honduras again for two years. So the day was a bittersweet with excitement of reconnecting and then saying goodbye.  God was present throughout our day in so many, many ways. As we met as a group tonight we talked about feeling like the family of God even while worshipping with people we don't know well and in a different language. We also discussed how amazing it is that so many ninos in Gracias a Dios have an education because people at DRE listened to the Holy Spirit's nudging. We also enjoyed Matt playing the drums at GAD and making new friends as a result!
We would appreciate your prayers as we head to Alpha y Omega orphanage tomorrow. There are elements of the unknown, but we're so excited to meet the kids and see what work we'll be doing.
And although we've had some rain here, we are so glad we are not in PA "enjoying" your weather. 😃
