Final post from Honduras

     Well, it is almost over.... The past few days have been very eventful. When I'm working in pharmacy, Friday is the hardest day. Our morning is patient care, followed by the frenzy of inventory, breakdown of shelves, tables, division of medication for saving, donating, use by team members. After our final ride back from Escuapa, I must repack & rearrange luggage. This happens every year when I decide which pharmacy supplies need to go home to be cleaned, repaired. After that is the paperwork..... We must collate several numbers to be turned into the Honduran government. Then, if there is any time, I must finish personal packing. 

     This year I got a special visit!! I the same interpreter who visited the church site last week was in Danli with a different brigade on Friday night. He walked over to visit with our brigade after dinner!! This was a pleasant surprise for many of us! 

     We arise early Saturday. The same as each day we travel to Escuapa. Worship, breakfast, loading luggage onto the truck. Then we travel. This year we went separate directions; most of us to Valle de Angeles for a little shopping. A few of us came directly to Tegucigalpa for other sightseeing. Judy & I had lunch with an old friend! Shelley had other plans.

       After lunch was an opportunity to visit the Christ statue that protects this city from a peak nearby. Then, a visit from Henry & Sarah Klines who administer the Becos con Bendiciones (Scholarships with Blessings) program here in Honduras. 

     For the evening, a dinner was planned for the team & interpreters & their families. Gerilynn & I had planned alternate activities. We went to the Motagua fútbol match at the National Stadium in Tegucigalpa. That was really exciting for us. I had NEVER seen Gerilynn giddy!!! It was a wonderful night. Thank you Felipe & kids!!

     We have had our final breakfast, last worship & the final round of "Go Now in Peace". All that remains is final loading/unloading of luggage & flying home. The saddest day of my trip...... 

UNTIL NEXT TIME
