I made it!

We're here! Nicole and I got to the airport in Tegucigalpa yesterday around 11:30am (local time, which is one hour behind central time in the US. It might be called mountain time or something, i don't know) and made it through immigration and customs without any problems. Thanks for all your prayers for travel safety! Lus(their neighbor, Francis is pretty sure that's how it's spelled, lol) and Andrea(Jim and Francis' daughter) picked us up and brought us back to the Martin's house where we mostly relaxed the rest of the day. I learned how to play Wii and even beat Andrea in baseball, so it was a pretty productive evening :). Their house in beautiful and I'm really enjoying spending time with everyone.

Today we got up early and went for a long walk with Lus and saw some of the houses of people who have more money (Lus said the drug dealers and government workers). They had armed guards walking around to scare off any troublemakers, that was pretty different from in the States. After we cleaned up from our walk, Lus came back over and gave us a 2 and half hour Spanish lesson, leaving us with another 2 hours or so of homework. (So by the time i leave, i should hopefully have a pretty good grasp of spanish!). We ran some errands and got to see a little more of the city this afternoon (Honduran drivers are crazy!).

It's been a pretty uneventful couple of days--relaxing and good for transitioning to life here. I haven't had too much culture shock. Maybe after hearing about it from the team that was here in April and seeing pictures prepared me so i knew what to expect. If i get the chance, i'll try to take and upload some pictures of the Martin's house and the city.

Prayer Requests:
Please pray for Nicole and I as we get to work on our To Do List for our time here. We will be getting things like the Facebook page updated and looking into other sites to get information to people and make them aware of the work of Honduras Ministries. We also plan to apply for grants for the ministry.
Pray for us as we get used to life here and learn the language.
I would appreciate prayers that I can learn about and better see the work of the Holy Spirit around me, and be more in tune to what He is saying.

Thank you so much for all your prayers so far. It is absolutely awesome to see comments from people all over that have said they are praying for me. I can't even describe how amazing and encouraging it is. I love seeing the Body of Christ at work and i know that it can do miraculous things!

I'll do my best to update everyone frequently and put pictures up when I can, so check back a few times a week!
