This is from two college women who "stepped out on faith" and have moved to La Ceiba, Honduras to see what God has in store for them during the Summer '07.
They are living in La Haven on the mission compound, working with the Dorm residents, Cruzado, and AHMEN.
What a life changing experience.
WOW!!!!!
Hey Cindy!!
> It is good to hear from you. I'm glad to hear that ya'll made it home safely and hope you are enjoying being home.
> Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers and tell your Sunday school class that we really appreciate them.
> It is really different without a team here because we are really amerced into the culture but it has been a really good experience so far. We do miss you guys a lot though and it was such a blessing to get to be with your group. Lauren and I are doing really well. We moved into the girls dorm Monday and have really enjoyed being with them. Despite the language barrier we are doing a really good job of communicating. We are taking the girls out for pizza Monday and which they are really excited about. They do not get to leave the compound much because it's dangerous. It has really made me appreciate being able to run in my neighborhood late at night without being scared or being able to get in my car and go wherever I want without being afraid of being taken.
> Lauren and I went to the dump to work at the feeing kitchen Tuesday. It was one of the saddest things I've seen yet. Those people live among such filth and trash everyday. Kids bring whatever containers they have to take food back to their family and some just bring plastic bags for us to dump the food into.
> I didn't mean to get too depressing at the end there. Sorry. We really are having a great time and I know that this is where God wants me to be right now.
> Please pass on our best wishes to all the other team members and tell them we are doing well.
> Lauren and I will try to get out an email to everyone towards the end of the week just to touch base and let everyone know how we're doing.
> Love,
> Emily & Lauren
