I left Honduras. I am feeling bitter sweet but My heart is full of happiness. I am beyond blessed by all the things that had happened this month. I am sad to leave all the beautiful people that have blessed my heart.
It was hard for me to adjust to being away from my comfort. I woke up several days not feeling myself, sadness creeped in, feeling alone, sick and in shock that this is my new life this year. Taking it all in I felt overwhelmed! But because I am an overcomer I had to adjust my mindset to how God wants me to be and do what will please Him. This month has been nothing but a learning and growing experience for me. Since I’m learning to overcome my challenges I have been beyond blessed with those days I struggled with. Gods blessed all of my days of doing ministry here in Honduras. Working at the actual ministry has been so new for me. Learning how to plaster a wall (even though I’m not the best at it) I got the job done! Playing and being with the kids who live with us has been such a special time to share with them each. I love them so much and it’s hard not being able to be around them anymore. They love us and want us to be with them and it’s been such a sweet thing to be around. Also cleaning the showers and bathrooms here has taught me not to get frustrated but to turn my opportunity to truly please The Lord.
The days we went into the village, I walk away with such a blessed heart. We dance and play games with kids wherever we can, we pray for whoever The Lord brings before us and love on as many as we possibly can. We’ve met so many families and I could go on and on about them all but there is this one in particular we met a few weeks ago. We prayed for their baby girl Sophia who had a fever. As a team we prayed and the fever went away. Ever since that day it brought us an opportunity to get to draw near to the family. With there being a language barrier we still made it work. We met their extended family who had two kids: a boy named orlan and a girl named estel. Such a beautiful family that has impacted my heart. We prayed for this boy named orlan which we later learned he is deaf and mute. When we visit them, his face lights up and it melts my heart. When I get hugs from Estel I feel like I am of importance to her. This family invited us back for tamales one afternoon, which in Honduras is a huge honor. These families have close to nothing and to invite us back for lunch to feed 7 more people made me feel loved. As our time draws near to leave Honduras it’s been hard saying our goodbyes but knowing we left such an impact and vice versa it’s all worth it. When we went to the other villages I was yet again blessed to be invited into a complete strangers home being offered a seat or something to drink and we just sing them songs because we have nothing else to say in the little bit of Spanish we do know but it’s the little things like this that has been so humbling to be apart of. Building a relationship off of the Fathers love has been more of an impact than actually being able to communicate in English. We get to sing, dance, pray and truly love these families we’ve met and leave such an impact.
I will miss you Honduras, but you never know I may see you again.
