We're Home....well at least they are

The team made it home safe. I am sure they were exhausted and ready to sleep. 

Pray for them as they begin to process their trip. Even though they were only gone a week it can be difficult to return home after having this experience. 

I (Mike) am still in Honduras (don't worry, its my own choice).  I am missing the team already but I know they are excited to share what they have learned and encountered here in Honduras. Continue to pray for the other teams still in the field, returning home, and those who are still preparing to go out into the world.

Today is our last day together in Honduras. It was our fun day and we enjoyed ourselves at the beach. It was a great time to relax and rest before the trip home tomorrow. We came back to Faith Home after the beach and ate some dinner before spending some time discussing the week. It was great to hear everyone's reflections and thoughts about the week went and what they will take away from it. Overall, I think we all learned something through our experience here and will continue to reflect on it in the days to come.

We decided to watch a movie together for our last hurrah as a team. It has been a great week. Pray for safe travels tomorrow and that the team will be able to move through immigration and customs with ease tomorrow.

Greetings from Honduras!

The last three days have been long, busy, and great. On monday we visited with the pastors and their families. Some of us taught Bible study with the adults while others played with the kids. It was a great day of relaxing and getting to know one another.

On Tuesday we took everyone to the movies where everyone received a popcorn and a drink. They had these awesome popcorn/drink holders that all of us loved. Yesterday was pool day. We took everyone to a local pool where we had chicken fingers for lunch and followed it up with some great soccer matches. Each night we would sing songs, share testimonies, and give a lesson. Wednesday night was special as each each of the pastors shared with us how much these three days meant to them and their families. The night ended with them making a circle around us and praying over us. Everyone was moved by the experience and I am sure they will love telling everyone when they returned.

Today we went to the Guamalito. A local shopping center for tourists to buy souvenirs. Then we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Go figure...a mexican restaurant in honduras. We came back to the teamhouse and took a nap before having a pizza party with all the transition kids. These are the students at faith home who are teenagers and are preparing to move out on their own. After they pizza party we played a little soccer and then watched a movie.

Tomorrow is our fun day at the beach!

Thank you for your prayers and support. They truly have been answered during our time here.

Hey!

Wanted to let everyone know that we made it safely down to Honduras. We didn't have any problems getting down here. We had a short delay from Indy to Atlanta which made our connecting flight a little close but we got here!

We made it through immigration just fine. They had this thermal gun which checked for a temperature in case we had the swine flu. We are all clear!

When we arrived at Faith Home we settled in and then a few of us went shopping for groceries for the week. We spent five hours shopping and bought an enormous amount of food. Those who stayed back at faith home relaxed and took a tour of the campus with one of the girls from Faith Home.

We just finished eating dinner and are headed for bed after a long day that started before 4:30 am for most of us. We are headed to church tomorrow morning and then will do some last minute planning as the pastors arrive.

Sorry this is short but there is a storm right now and we might lose power soon. Thank you for your prayers and continue to lift us up as we begin to minister to pastors and their families over the next few days.
