Honduras

I've had a rather wild itinerary this summer, and a last minute trip to Honduras was part of my most recent adventures.  My Aunt Pamela has been a missionary in the capital city, Tegucigalpa for the past 6 years, and this was my first oppotunity to see her second home and meet many of her friends and ministry partners.



This is one of the churches that Pamela's ministry partner helped to plant in a rough neighborhood of Tegucigalpa.  Their church walls are made of tarp and old metal sheeting.  A beautiful house of God.


I'm sorry that this picture is sideways, but I had to include a picture of Pam and her namesake, Pamelita.  This little girl was named after Pamela because of her witness to this community of people.  Pretty sweet if you ask me.

And this is the church with Pastor Francisco standing to the far left in a white shirt.  These are the people that have adopted Pam into their church family.  It really was a blessing to see this authentic community worshipping with what they had and investing time and care into one another.


The preschool that Pam is on the board for.  Single moms often don't have affordable and decent daycare and schooling options for their little ones, but Casa de Luz is meeting that need.

Dancing with the kiddos to some kind of cowboy song!  Of course, I had to join in.

Learned to crochet this week too! Here is Patricia showing off my first hat and one that Pamela did.  Can you tell which one is mine?  Don't answer that.

Pam teaching in Spanish at the deaf school in Tegucigalpa.  I was so impressed by her teaching abilities, and it was clear that God was present in her teaching.  She had some great response from this material, and has been asked back to continue this seminar on understanding the impact of God harnessing our thoughts before they turn into emotions and reactions.  This was a great time of learning about life and ministry in Honduras, and a great time to hang out with my Auntie!  I am so thankful for the time we were able to share together.
