Advanced Honduras Team Arrives!

Awake early and at the airport. (Photo by Steve Evans.)

The Honduras advanced team had no hitches in their travel to Honduras on Sunday. That may seem like a small thing but the team we talked to at immigration in Tegucigalpa was just arriving after having missed their plane in Houston on Thursday. We were received with a warm welcome from Amber Foster of Breaking Chains, Michelle Gross, longtime friend of NCCOC, and a really hot humid afternoon.

After finally getting some sleep Sunday night we headed out to the mountain village of Izopo after breakfast Monday. Some things never change like the warm welcome of the people we saw like Marlon, the elementary teacher, his wife Emma, and daughter Fernanda. We also got to talk to Cindy but many of the adults were gone. Some of the team enjoyed a ride in the back of the truck with Susan Paul as crazed, rough-road driver.

We had a very, very insightful two hour talk with Emma about health concerns of the community. Jeanne will share in a future blog some of the many things we learned. Many things in Izopo are the same but some things are changing (see photo). Keep us in your prayers as we have busy days visiting more people and making preparations for our serving time next week. This is going to be a growing time!
