For those of you who have been asking about the folks in Utila, I have some good news to share. Randy Nexvold and his two girls got back home safely to California last night. Steve, from The River Church is continuing his ministry by heading to Nicaragua from San Pedro Sula in the morning. The final family leaves from SPS on Saturday as well. And that's when Tony and Evelin will drive back home from Ceiba. Remember, worrying doesn't help, but prayers are in order.
One part of the group is home, three more to go!
Nothing big to report on the news front. Even the streets of Roatan are filled with people protesting against Mel. The 72 hours is over tomorrow so it seems like he will return tomorrow to try to regain the presidency. Some news reports say that by law he will be jailed immediately if he returns. I think that's what will happen, but we'll see.
No matter what happens, if he returns it will be "feo" - a word that has taken on a new meaning for me. To me, "feo" used to just mean ugly, like the opposite of handsome. Now it means much more.
Looking back I realize this is getting repetitive, but each day I hear from new people who are praying for this country and the safety of the people here, so once again - thank you so much for your prayers. It has been great to hear from several people from my church in the states. It feels awesome to know that you guys are fully aware of what is going on and praying.
I will end the day with two simple observations that I keep thinking about, but forget to write. First - ALL of the huge trucks - not tractor trailers but trucks for hauling sand or big loads - have bible verses written across the top of the windshield here. I'm not sure why, but it's on all of them. The second thing is actually a question. Have you ever been in a pretty high-end grocery store (think of Smiths or King Supers) that sells machetes? I have.
Good night from my pink bedroom in Honduras.
