This week has been crazy busy - full of adventures and new experiences - and promises to hold many more! A group of 8 gringos and 3 catratchos (Hondurans) went out to Rio Maria to swim, jump off rocks, and play in the jungle that is Honduras. It was a great time to spend with each other, getting to know each other better and develop relationships more.
Afterwards, I had my FIRST Honduran bicycle ride, with a good friend, Stephanie, pedaling while we shared the steering responsibilities... I was laughing all the way! (It helped to not think about the.. Uncomfortable... bar I was sitting on.) ...we will get a picture of that experience soon!
Praise the Lord for good friends - and great opportunities in daily my conversations to open up and share who He is and how He shows Himself to me. Please pray for me - and every Christian here - that we would continue to be bold in our friendships and not shy away from declaring Truth. Pray that we would be able show what it means to be faithful and unconditional in our friendships with non-Christians (and with the body of Christ!) while holding firm to the standard Christ sets. AND finally, pray for our hearts - that our motivation to LOVE and SERVE would be from the desire to bring God glory and benefit others instead of ourselves.
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support and I look forward to hearing from each of you soon! (hint, hint!)
