Sunday

Pictures to follow, but yesterday was another great day in Honduras.  Lad spoke at church and was well received.  Everyone liked how he spoke from the heart and made it very clear that K2 and Iglesia en Transformación will continue to partner together.  His message was about giving "mas y mas" (more and more).  He told the church that they are known for the way they love, but that God always wants us to love more.  It was a nice acknowledgment of the good work Iglesia en Transformación is doing, and motivating in the fact that God still wants more.

After church we went to Valle de Angeles, a pretty little town outside of Tegus, for lunch and to wander around.  Since it was Honduran Independence Day, there were a ton of people there.  Little bands were playing with people circled around.  We checked out most of the shops, got some coffee and relaxed.

Today we are going to the super, then to the Breakfast Program.  It will probably be packed because there is no school for any of the kids in honor of the national holiday.  Afterward we will walk into Los Pinos with some of the older boys who are known there as "body guards" so Lad can have a chance to see some of the homes there.  I am hoping we will have time to go to the Jesus Statue on the way home before we have dinner with the Vermonts  and some other members of the church.

Tomorrow Lad will leave.  I never thought about it before, I think when he leaves I am going to have that feeling like you have after a vacation you have looked forward to for a long time and then you have to go back to every day life.  I love my every day life.  But having Lad here, sharing this place and these people with him, has been really great.  I will be a little sad when he is gone.  In the meantime we are enjoying every minute!
