Honduras!

Hey Y'all!!

Well, in 9 hours I will be loading a plane headed towards Honduras!! I am so excited.

Obviously, very sad about leaving my family. I hate having to say goodbye to Ella. But I am SO BLESSED that she gets to go stay with grandparents that she loves SO MUCH!! She gets so excited that she gets to go stay with them, that it covers up any sadness she might have about us leaving. Which is definitely what I would prefer. I don't want her to feel sad, like I feel. Heath works such crazy hours that it's just best if she stays over there and then Heath will go see her often. Ella is going to have a great week with her Grandparents.

Just like trips past, like Honduras and Africa, God's grace is sufficient enough and I usually do very well with missing Ella once the trip starts. So I am clinging to that promise once again.

I wanted you guys to have a schedule of what we will be doing each week. So many of you are such faithful prayer warriors for me, that I thought you would like this. And it brings me so much comfort to know that my friends and family back home are praying for specific things and times during the week.

Thank you for your prayers. This year our church is taking a group of 29. It's a really great group! I'm very excited to get to know each of them more. I can't wait to give all of you an update. Please pray that we will be able to plant many seeds and God will work despite our weaknesses.

(Cataluna is the village that we spent our days at last year. It is an incredibly poor village with lots of needs. They have to pay for their water, but a lot of times can not afford it, which is why you will see on Tues. we take water to them and deliver it for free. We are spending our days there again this year, doing door to door evangelism/prayer, VBS and evening church services. You can look back at my posts from last year to read and see pictures of this village.)

This is one picture of the village. I am SO excited to go back here and see all the kids and BABIES that I held last year. They are going to be so big and walking. Oh, I can't wait!
