Home Sweet Home

For those of you I haven't called, I made it safe and sound!  Not that the people I did call know I made it safe because no one answered  their phones.  Americans and their busy lives.  Okay, that was a joke.

My flight left OKC at 6 Wednesday morning and I, with all my luggage let me add, arrived in San Pedro Sula a little after 1 p.m. It was then another good 3 1/2 hour drive to Gracias which is the town I'm staying in.

I live in an apartment, and I use that term lightly because it's nothing like an apartment in the states.  Here are some pictures. Okay, there are no pictures.  Silly me just did something really dumb that I can't fix at the moment.  And I'm not about to tell the world the specifics either.

Moving on.  Today I went out to the radio station to take a quick look at the corn, beans, and  pineapple  I'll be working with.  There will be more about this later.  And their will be pictures...if I can fix the stupid thing I just did.  I'm starting to get doubtful.

I also walked around town with an American teacher that is here until the end of July.  She was very helpful, telling me all the good places to go to get donuts, ice cream, and  chocolate covered bananas.  And real food, can't forget about the real food.  I bought grapes, apples, spaghetti, bread, peanut butter, tortillas, milk, and cereal.

The internet at my apartment doesn't like me too much, rather not at all, so I'm using her internet as well.  She conviently lives in the house right next to me.  Literally.

Side note, it's storming right now.  It reminds me of home.  I'm devising a plan on how to get my computer back to my apartment without it getting wet.  Maybe if I wait it out?  Why did I not bring the rain jacket?

Last random thought of the day, The public school year starts in Feburary and goes until November so that the kids have time off to help with coffee harvest.  Like what our fall break in America started out for.

Oh, and will someone pleeease share this with Grandma.  I forgot to make sharing-with-grandma plans before I left.

Thanks everyone for reading keeping up with my blog and please continue to pray for me and the work Father is allowing me to be a part of.
