more from honduras


this was at "el bordo" which is the slums of Honduras..

im sure this was about 3 in the morning.. :) typical night for a few of us.. and that just means we had to be up in a few hours..

our cast for our huge "dont touch" drama..

miss hadassah!! how i love her.. and her voice.. its so beautiful just like her..

at the a school.. it was so much fun here..

typical day on the bus.. there were so many of us that alot had to stand
dont pay attention to my chubbiness.(eww) but miss briana is sooo cute.. how can you resist that beautiful smile.. and her eyes.. wow..

VAMOS ESPANA!!!!!!! ole ole ole ole ollleeee oollleeee

my sister (michaela) and my brother (daniel)

when i went to this school i got to talk to a big group of girls and i told them my story.. the things i have done and things that have happened to me. this girl was really struggling and was really hesitant to talk.. i finally talked with her one on one.. and she told.. it was one of the most memorable moments for me.. letting me know that i didnt go through life for no reason.. my story has a purpose.. and its to show others that they are not alone..

awe these doodlebugs were at el bordo.. they are sooo cute.. i loved talking to the kids.. it was so nice not needing someone to translate for me.. though i did have the best translator with me..

after we did the drama at el bordo.. we were dirty from falling to the ground
sunset..

this is what happens when you fall asleep on the bus.. tisk tisk Kennet.. a little background.. this is Kennet he was the guy all the ladies had crushes on.. he used to be a perfessional soccer player.. knows about 5 languages, plays guitar, paints,models and he has colored eyes and a model body.. (yes this is where you sigh)

this is what he normally looks like

me, michaela, and rosa (my translator)

miss sarah.. there would be about a group of 8 of us or so that would stay up late into the night.. go into the kitchen make extra black coffee and sing songs and just have a good time.. she was a great entertainer and worship leader.. even though she doesnt know that ;)

this is from the drama "don't touch" or "no toque" as its said in Spanish.. we all signed it and gave it to the Hondurans the night before we left.. they had a fireworks display for us and a bonfire.. how i miss them dearly...

some kids at el bordo.. they were all so wonderful.. we went door to door telling them about the bus and the things we would do at the bus, like the dramas and the game.. on our way back the kids followed and it was like the pide piper and all the mice.. except i am glad it was children walking with us and not mice..

Casita Mujeres.

I havent written much on my trip to Honduras and I'm not exactly sure why. Here is my first attempt. The one outreach that sticks out in my mind and I'm sure everyone else's was when we went to CASITA MUJERES. It was a "home" for young girls from the ages of maybe 6-18. On this day Pastor Chace asked me if I would give my testimony. Now in my head I'm thinking "are you serious" but I of course say yes. This is my first time ever to give the story of what made me who I am today. That whole day I was so nervous, anyone who knows me also knows that I'm not one to really get nervous about anything. Just the thought of exposing who I am to a whole crowd of people including those from church and my siblings, it just made me feel vulnerable. Our bus is driving on down the road to our destination when we notice a traffic jam. Great it's already hot and sweaty and now there is no movement for the air to circulate through the bus. I guess it was exactl...

Insecure

For various reasons that don't directly deal with me, I have come to think upon a few things. I am speaking from a female perspective but I come to assume that insecurities seem to stem from the same type of problems. Everyday we deal with people who have a huge impact on us personally, people that we love, people who's opinions matter. When their persepective of us has been scewed in anyway we tend to take it to heart. It's human nature to take their words and feel them deeper than they should be. So when they speak of or to us in a way thats negative we will begin to perceive ourselves in a negative manner. Or when we come to find that those persons have done you wrong we begin to think there must be something I'm missing. Each and everything they do affects us. If a person cheats, we think; something MUST be wrong with us. If a person lies to us, we wonder why we were not worth the truth. What could we have done to prevent them from going off and doing us wrong? They...

i am not so naive

Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...
