Ten days…
One year ago today, Jd and I got on an airplane with our cat in a carrier, six bags, a safe and DVD player in JD’s backpack, and some big dreams in our hearts. One year later, we are savoring our last few days here in the states, and spending time with our Honduran friends who are here to visit. We are officially booked for everyday until we leave, so if you wanted to make plans, well, try again next year.
We will spend the next week taking the gang to visit the Spanish Immersion class at my mom’s school, meeting our Village friends and touring the campuses. We are also going to try to make time to ride my dad’s new 4 wheeler. We will also be volunteering at the Union Gospel Mission in Fort Worth, playing soccer, and just hanging out in general. They are also coming to eat dinner with my family on Wednesday night. It will be a very jam-packed, busy week. Next Sunday is mission Sunday at Hillside Community Church in Keller, Arturo will be speaking, and it is a great opportunity to learn all about what’s going on in missions.
It is hard to believe our time here is almost over. I am nervous about returning yet, excited. I have missed our Honduran friends, I have missed our cat, I have missed the convenience of the pulperias. I have not missed being “hollered” at, or waiting in line for millions of years at the grocery store, or cold showers.
And so, Danli, we will see you in ten days.
