Where God leads...Honduras

My feet are clean for the first time in a week. The absence of dirt and mud leaves me feeling desperate to get them dirty again.

I have spent the last week in Yoro, Honduras. The team and I spent our first couple days in the mountains with the Tolupan Indians. It's an absolute beautiful land. Greener than green mountains, an abundance of perfectly placed rivers and streams, complete with chaotic winding roads laden with thousands of rocks, which are sure to take out a few tires and can make the drive up the mountains quite eventful. From first glance the mountains are picture perfect, no one would ever guess the turmoil and distress that exists under the shadows of these green giants.

Here, in these mountains are the villages of the Tolupan. A people group who know oppression and poverty like the back of their hand. These are the people we came to minister to.

The team arrived in Honduras on Saturday. We drove to El Progresso where we experienced our first fender bender of the trip and stayed the night. We left Sunday morning, and drove an insane 5 and a half hours to the mountains. The ride was anything but smooth. We crossed 4+ rivers in trucks which was an experience in itself.

To Be Continued...
