We're in Honduras...we think

After a very early departure and two unremarkable flights we found ourselves in Tegucigalpa, Honduras around noon on Saturday, September 10. We spent most of Saturday resting and settling in to our temporary home. Sunday found us at church where we were welcomed very warmly. We also enjoyed lunch with a group from the church.

Many people ask how Elly is handling the change. The biggest challenge appears to be convincing or explaining to her that we have indeed arrived in Honduras. She kept asking, "When are we getting to Honduras?" and we would answer "This IS Honduras." We thought it was clear but then she asked, "Will we come back to Honduras after church?" So we're not sure where she thinks she is. What we are pleased with is how quickly she became comfortable with several people at church. 

We have many things to learn, transitions to make, and details to arrange. Facing these, we are so thankful for the loving encouragement from our "old" friends, the generous support from our "new" friends, and the everlasting arms of our eternal God.
