Last month I was privileged to be able to go with my close friend, Hanna Kifle to the lovely country of Honduras! First of all, I am so thankful to the Schreckhise family for their hospitality! We felt so at home with them and had a wonderful time. It's been my experience to come home from missions trips feeling like you received so much more than you gave. And it's been my experience that missionaries are givers. They give of their time, love, finances, and more as a continual sacrifice to serve in their field. Don't forget to pray for our missionaries! AND - if you tell they that you will indeed go visit them - do your best to make it happen. Even if it takes a while! (I know, I still owe some people some visits! And I will do my best to come...if the Lord comes, I'll see y'all in heaven!)
We left on a Sunday evening... it was quite the trip! The layovers were pretty long, so we had plenty of time to kill!
Hanna and her friend she met at the airport... I don't really approve of his apparel or his pose, but whatever..lol!
Speaking of friends.... before we boarded one of our planes, we were snickering at this guy's totally blinged out outfit! Including his gold shoes. We forgot about it until we were boarding the plane, and guess who Hanna got to sit next to? Mr. Gold Shoes himself!
Hanna managed to catch a short amount of sleep on the plane. I did not, so I took pictures!
We arrived in San Pedro Sula, Honduras the next day and were warmly welcomed by Bro. and Sis. Schreckhise and and their daughter, Sarah! It was pretty much a breeze going through immigration. Hondurans are generally very laid back!
Our first meal in Honduras was.... Peruvian food!! I ordered arroz con pollo, and it was very good.
The currency in Honduras is called the Lempira. One United States dollar equals around 22 Lempiras.
Me, Sarah and Hanna in San Pedro Sula.
Hanna and I stayed in Francis' room, the Schreckhise's adopted daughter. She was so sweet! Thank you, Francis! Visitor's sign the wall in her room. Cool idea!

The Schreckhise home. It's a concrete house... I loved it! And I loved this sign in their home.... it's very accurate! ;)
More to come about the awesome church services!
