Happy Easter!
It has been a new experience celebrating this Semana Santa in Honduras. On Thursday afternoon, Good Friday, and Sunday everything in town is closed. The streets are deserted for the beach - where you will find TONS of people swimming, cooking out on grills in little grass huts, getting their hair braided, and enjoying each other. We had a church service on Friday afternoon and again this Sunday. There are mosaics of Jesus down the center of the main street, Ave San Isidro, that tell the Easter story.. a Santa mision.Next week returns to "normal" - as Caleb leaves in the morning, and classes begin again at Brassavola. I am looking forward to the "tourists" from Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula to go back home - perhaps it is because they are from larger cities, but they just don't seem as friendly as my Ceibanans. Pray for me this week - as I present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to my students and their teachers at Brassavola. Pray that they will have soft hearts to hear, understand, and accept all that the Lord has done for us.
