Postscript

Well, I’m back from a week-long missions trip to Honduras. I went with a group from two churches in Massachusetts. We flew in to Tegucigalpa, the capital city and spent the night in a hotel. Part of our group stayed in the city, but my part of the group drove to the mountains where we ministered to the Tolpan Indians. The main focus for the week was to discover how the group from the two churches could better serve the Tolpans in the future.
One of the things that we did was work with a Youth for Christ missionary to put on a soccer tournament between the neighboring villages; this allowed us to meet more of the Tolpans and begin to build relationships. I spent the night in one of the villages, and we were able to show the Jesus Film three times. We also had VBS for the Tolpan kids and we had more than 70 kids show up. It was a great trip and I met some wonderful people. I miss it already.

The last few days have been busy. Jeff has been preparing to go on a short missions trip with the church we’ve been attending when we’re not speaking and another church nearby. They are going to Honduras. Half of the team will be doing ministry in the city, and the other half of the team will be spending most of their time in a village working with a missionary with Youth for Christ. Jeff’s going out to the village. We spent time getting clothes at good will, buying ready-to-eat meals and then packing everything into his back pack. I’d never seen those meals before. You just add water and you can have spaghetti, mashed potatoes and meat loaf…crazy. Jeff is excited about this opportunity.

I brought him out to a park-n-ride this morning where he got on a bus with the group and headed to the airport in New York City. He gets back on Easter morning at about 4am.

I’ve been preparing to spend a week in Orlando. I’ll be attending the Wycliffe School for Global Engagement for 3 days. The last couple of days I hope to connect with some of our friends in Orlando. I leave tomorrow morning, so I was packing, too!

After I dropped Jeff off, I got ready to go to my cousin Ryan’s wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony, and it was fun to be with the extended family.
I’m already so tired, but I’ve got an early morning. My flight leaves at 6 tomorrow morning…
