We made it back from Colinas to San Pedro Sula last night (I drove one of the three vehicles... fun!). Today is a rest day prior to our 7am flight tomorrow.
I ended up taking over 2,500 photos so far (300 yesterday), and will be posting some of those along with what God has done through us and to us. It has been a great experience, and reaffirms a lot of things for me.
For those local to Fresno, I am planning on doing a "Honduran Coffee Night" on Tuesday the 29th at my apartment (let my roommate know). There will be a slideshow :-)
Go Be Jesus!

Leaving!!!
Our flight leaves Fresno in just a couple of hours!
My Father in Heaven, whose name is Holy:
I want to see your Kingdom here, I want Your Will to be done.
Father, provide for my needs today as You did yesterday.
I beg You to forgive my debts, as I have forgiven those owed me.
That last line bothers me--I tend to hold on to debts for the day that I might owe them. The other day, my roommate didn't wash his dishes. It bothered me, but I didn't say anything because I had left stuff out in the living room. Instead of just talking about it, or forgiving something so trivial and moving on, I started tallying. I tallied because I owed him a debt, and I wanted to be owed a larger debt. I suck like that.
That last line bothers me because it's a conditional statement. It bothers me because I have been forgiven, yet I hold on to IOU's for longer than I want mine held onto.
Father, continue to make me more like You. Give me the courage and strength to let go of my imagined power, and to forgive recklessly.
