Today we drove back to Tegucigalpa from Danli to prepare for our last night here and our flight home tomorrow. Most of the group went off to do some site seeing and a few of us headed back to the hotel instead of site seeing. I got the opportunity to hang out with Luis and his family, one of our interpreters and spent the afternoon visiting with them and walking around a very local market area. It was awesome. Really felt like I experienced Honduran city life. As well as catching up with Karina and the kids and enjoying their company. What a blessing. Thank you Luis and family for sharing your day with me. Such a wonderful family with an amazing story to tell.
I had first heard the story of Karina and Luis last year on my first mission trip but hearing it again still gives me goose bumps. This truly is a God story. Karina gave me permission to share her story. You may find it here:
If this isn't a witness to Gods love I don't know what is!!
While I'm anxious to see my family again, my heart is saddened to leave my Honduran family behind. One day I may come back just to visit and see a different side of Honduras. Who knows.
Off to dinner with our interpreters in celebration of our week.
Blessings

To encourage recycling of plastic bottles, a group created this over head art with plastic bottles and food coloring. Close ups below. Very cool
