Nearly There

Well, it's 1:59 pm on Saturday, June 20th. I'm all packed up and eagerly anticipating our departure for Honduras tomorrow morning! The youth of HLPC, Randy, and I have worked really hard to reach this point, and we're so thankful for God's goodness to us throughout the whole preparation process! He has faithfully provided for all our needs!

I'm expecting a lot out of the trip. I expect it to be uncomfortably hot, although I feel amply prepared given the weather this past week. I've never really enjoyed sweating. I definitely prefer the cold. I expect it to be a cultural overload at times, but I have always enjoyed experiencing other cultures. I'm excited about being immersed in the culture of La Ceiba. I'm looking forward to staying with the Pettengills and being a part of their ministry. I found out yesterday that we'll be working all week on two houses in the poor community of Armenia Bonito, and I'm praying that we'll be able to make some real progress and have some great opportunities to meet the people of this village. Hope I can get some decent sleep tonight!
