Status Update

Things are going well here in Honduras. I’m helping the Marc and Terri Tindall (missionaries) with whatever they need. Mostly, I’ve ended up driving, delivering, hauling, and herding gringos. It’s been fun.

My spanish has gotten a lot better since I took classes in January. It’s even good enough to start talking about heart matters with people. I have had heart-to-hearts with people at the dump, boys at the boys home (where they stuff 20 to a room on the floor from 6pm to 6am), and people in the outlying communities where we build houses. I can FINALLY talk about Jesus! So, now it’s time to join Marc and Terri in planting seeds of the Kingdom in this country. Good feeling. 

I feel like I’m constantly busy, here. I’m always going somewhere or doing something. But even with all the activity, I’ve had time to work remotely for my job in the states. God’s making it possible to support myself so that I don’t have the constant burden of searching for support. Another good feeling.

If you didn’t know, my “novia” (girlfriend) is named Pamela. She lives and works here in Santa Ana. I get to see her every day and sometimes get to spend entire days with her and/or her precious son. Our relationship is going very well. The language barrier isn’t really a barrier anymore… more like an occasional speed-bump when I forget a word or ten. 

I miss my home and my friends. I miss my wonderful family. I miss drinking water from the tap. I miss putting toilette paper in the toilette. I miss defensive drivers. But, if I were back home, I would miss everything and everyone here. That’s life, right?
