Honduras- Day 1

After waking up at 2:45 a.m., arriving at church at 4:00, flying out at 6:00, arriving at Honduras airport at 11:30, we found our way to our hotel for the night in La Cieba around 4:00 p.m. today.  All in all it was an uneventful travel day and we thank God for His traveling mercies.  

Today was simply a travel day and we will go to church in the morning and complete our journey to the village where will begin digging on Monday.  Our team consists of the four of us from Trussville, Sueying (from San Francisco), Dave (from Canada), Kevin (from Houston) and Meagan (from Mississippi).  This is Kevin and Dave's second trip with Living Water.  The rest of us have absolutely no clue what to expect, but we are extremely excited about being a part of this work.  

Here are some highlights from the day:

Most exciting moment of the day: after landing in San Pedro, Honduras, some Living Water officials picked us up and took us to lunch.  To all of our dismay (and complete excitement) they took us to Burger King.  I've never been so excited to see those Burger King crown chicken nuggets!

Biggest shock of the day: While at dinner tonight, Sueying and Dave look at me in dismay as I'm talking about Chick-fil-a (yes, I know you're shocked that I've been away from states less than 4 hours and I'm already talking about Chick-fil-a).  Dave asks, "Is Chick-fil-a a type of food or a restaurant?" Neither of them had even heard of Chick-fil-a.  Wow, talk about shock.

Please continue to pray for our team.  We are excited to be here and look forward to meeting the people we will be helping tomorrow.
