So I am officially posting my life on the internet for everyone to see due to Ruth's recommendation. Yes, no more super long emails about my life - it is now your responsibility to check out this website if you want to know what is going on in my life. You could always call me as well, as Erin and I have a US phone in our apartment: 1-865-686-6399. Erin has been a great "companera de cuarto" and I am so thankful to have her to live life with. I can't believe that I've been in Honduras for 7 weeks - the time has flown by. The days are busy and I am constantly being pushed out of my comfort zone... whether it is teaching in classes (grades 1-6, with no training!), participating in dramas for youth evangelism/outreach, playing guitar and leading worship for our team worship, or por supuesto, speaking in Spanish (I am constantly battling the perfectionist in me to just jump in and say whatever and make errors and not worry about it, but learn from my mistakes.) I had the opportunity to go to Naval, a military school here in Ceiba, with the University Christian group - as they minister to the students training there. It was really great to be a part of a Honduran outreach, and they are already planning on me giving my testimony, helping with their one-on-one evangelism, and singing a song in English (HA! yeah right, joyful noises are not ment to be solos! This is the time I wish I had Dee-Dee or Rachel's voice!).
The Lord has blessed me with some amazing friends here - and I love our team. I am reminded once again that in the body of Christ I have family all over the world - and I have seen that here, as I've been welcomed into the hearts and homes of both missionaries and Hondurans here in Ceiba and around the country.
I hope you enjoy reading my updates and please respond - or email me (stephanieleecole@gmail.com) - because I would love to hear from you!
En Dios confio...

Oh Steph! I'm so glad you have begun a blog. I will be sure to keep myself updated and post lots of comments. Isn't it fun?! YAY! Praying for Jesus to fill you with His Spirit and enable you to fulfill His will for you in Honduras. <><
Steph, Still just sitting here waiting Stephen to come. I read this blog to Grammy Jo on the phone so she was happy to hear from you too. I love you, Steph and am praying for you. Hopefully soon you will be able to tell everyone about your new nephew. All is well in Texas and I am glad to hear about you teaching the kids. I bet you are having a blast. Well, I gotta go and will talk with you soon.
