Three days...

Señor, en tres dias, la vida en la cuenca comenzará...

In three days, life in Honduras will begin. That gives me one day left to prepare for every month I will be there.

Things I am looking forward to:

-being in community with people, even if it's not easy

-new friends and experiences

-speaking spanish

-sun

-writing letters

Things I am nervous about:

-being in community with people, especially when it's not easy

-getting enough sleep before I go, and spending enough time with the people I love in Houston

-navigating my way to Las Mangas on my own. what if I forget how to say: "please take me to the bus station." ???

I think I am going to learn a lot this summer, and I am really excited. I am not sure what it is going to look like, or what will come out of it. But, that's not the way I want to look at it either. I don't want to turn this into a "learning experience" or another thing to say that I have done. I want to understand it as real life (because it is real life), and I want to experience the people and the situations in the same way that I experience life in Texas or in Wheaton. Please pray for these things.

...gracias para la oportunidad para vivir en Honduras con Larry, Allison, Jason y Sarah. Ojalá que no doy por sentado el tiempo, la gente, or Su presencia en cada día y experiencia. Por favor, Jesus, enseñame lo que quieres, quiero entender mas de Su reino y de Su amor para nosotros.
