week 4 is over already!!

Sorry I'm kinda late on the week wrap-up post this week, i had a busy day yesterday. I can't believe i only have about 2 weeks left here!

The rest of the week, after the food distribution, was pretty laid back. I’ve put the finishing touches on the Twitter page for the ministry (HONMinistries) and posted directions on the previous blogpost for how to get the text message updates. I’ll work on tweeting more once a day or so to keep people updated about Honduras Ministries. If you have any other good ideas about how to get the word out about us, let me know!

Sundays seem to be getting harder for me. Church services are nice but they are long and I don’t understand very much. Francis and Andrea translate the general idea, but it is still kinda hard. Getting to see people is fun, especially as I know more of them, but there are still few that speak English. Church is sometimes when I get really homesick, because I miss my home church very much and can’t wait to talk to all of them about my experiences. After church we usually go out to eat them sometimes do other things, when what I’m really ready to do is go home and relax. But overall, I’m doing ok. Since I got used to the language barrier, I haven’t felt as stressed. Some days have been harder because I’ve missed some family get-togethers and getting to see Nathan and Erin (my brother and sister-in-law) and Natalie and Rl(my sister and her fiance). But, like I said, I’m doing pretty ok. I haven’t felt as homesick or out of place as I thought I might feel coming to a place I don’t know for such a long time. I also got to see a friend from OCC that’s here with another mission yesterday, and it was really helpful to get to talk to her. I haven’t said much about how I’ve been feeling since I’ve been here as I’ve been going through these feelings, so I thought I would let you know, since you’re my prayer network! Thanks so much for all the prayers, I appreciate them so much!!!

Prayer Requests:
-the little homesickness to subside so I can enjoy rest of my time here (especially sundays)
-the families in Tegucigalpa and Lepaterique that we brought food to this week
-Jim, as he is still away in the States getting his hand taken care of
-safe travel this coming weekend, we get to go the Mayan ruins of Copan!!
-that I will be helpful to this ministry and the Martin family while I am here, I feel like this week especially I haven’t done as much as I should

Thanks again!!!
