And so we have arrived, in Honduras.
The journey from California on the 21st to sitting here writing on the 30th has been many things. One appropriate description is certainly tiring… but the good kind! We shut our heavy eyes each night thankfully realizing how the Lord has watched over us by day. And there has been a substantial amount to “watch over” as we move through the necessary to-do lists that come with arriving into a new country with only your spouse, clothes, a laptop and two guitars. Oh, and our best friend: a handy-dandy electronic Spanish-English English-Spanish translator (sorry Langhorne Pres, no pink couch this time (Ojai Pres: Jonathan might have had a pink couch in his office last year (it was free!))).
We are happy to report that the two items atop the to-do list have been crossed off: 1) Find Shelter 2) Buy Car. We direct you to our photo album here on the blog to see pictures of our new place and truck. We officially move into the apartment on the first.
Until then, as well as for this past week, we are enjoying the amazing hospitality of our dear Argentinian friends Orlando & Silvia Japás. Don Orlando is the director of the Honduran sector of Union Biblica. If you want an idea of where we’ll be spending half of our time in ministry this year, check out this site voluntarily designed by a man who visited from the states. The other half of our time in ministry will be spent within Orlando’s church, Sala Evangelica.
In the past few days we have been presented with MANY options for service in these two ministry areas over the next year. We’ll relay how this all solidifies and takes form over the next few days. Until then, it has been a pleasure to share all of this and we’d love to hear from you. The Lord be with you, and a special blessing upon the LPC Guatemala team leaving today!
