G-squad loaded a bus at 11:30pm in Washington DC. At midnight the wheels started to turn and the race become REAL! Through the night we were on our way to JFK Airport in New York. We got to NY at 5:30am. The first step off the bus my heart leapt with excitement in knowing these were my last few steps in the states for 11 months. As we go through security, I get told that my bag needed to be checked. In my head, I was like "oh gosh, what on earth could be in my bag?" The TSA lady pulls me aside and begins to unload my incredibly full daypack to place in two separate bins and runs my bag again. She comes back to me shaking her head and let's me know the bins are clear, but there is still something in my daypack that isn't clear. So next comes two more bins and pretty much just my the daypack with nothing inside it back through the scanner. She once again comes back, but this time frustrated in the fact that she can't find what is not clearing the scanner. As she and I go through my daypack I remember in my toiletries bag there is a small pocket knife. In my head I had a minor freak out thinking "well shoot, how am I supposed to tell her I have a knife?" Next the TSA lady pulls out from the bottom of my pack a bookmark, she insists that it must be the bookmark! Phew, I was clear and good to go on to my gate! By this time it is around 6:30am and our flight is leaving at 9:30am. G-squad loads the plane for a direct flight to Costa Rica. After five hours, we arrive in Costa Rica. From there, we get into a bus and head to Managua, Nicaragua. After about 10 hours in the bus we arrive at our hostel. The hostel was very nice. That night I slept the best I ever have in my whole life! The next morning at 6:30am we are on our way to Tegucigalpa, Honduras! We arrived in Tegucigalpa at 3:00pm. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I can't even describe the way my heart feels. It is almost as though I am right where I am supposed to be. Forest green seemed to consume my head. As I was asking God, why forest green? He explained to me that this month will be filled with such indescribable growth and relationships that go much deeper that just the surface level. Can't wait to see these words from the Lord come to life!
Bienvendios a Honduras
