I’m just wrapping up a week in Tegucigalpa. It’s been amazing here. I really enjoy this city. My contact here has been very kind and eager for my assistance. I’ve even been able to utilize my CPA experience in Teguc. And yes, you’ll hear more about my international business experience later after I process my thoughts….It was interesting having so many similarities to home right at my finger tips, especially this late in the WR journey….But first I wanted to introduce you to Teguc as we first knew it.
Arriving in Tegucigalpa last Saturday afternoon, we were unloaded off the ‘chicken bus’ in the middle of the street of who-knows-where. Fortunately, some friendly locals helped us communicate our location, and we promptly being picked up by our kind-hearted contact friend here in Teguc.
I celebrated Easter with our new friends at Impacto Church. Actually, I went to two churches one of their three smaller branches first, and then the main (mother) branch. I was so glad to be in church on Easter (and today too)! 
God answered our prayers from earlier this month. The people welcomed us. Yet the day itself was different from any other Easter I’ve experienced. In the U.S., churches seem to emphasize Easter Sunday. Here in Central America, the whole culture focuses on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the death of Jesus. Businesses shut down for those two days and then open back up for Easter. So after the previous month of parades and bands in the street which ended on Good Friday, Easter seemed quiet and a bit anti-climatic.
Back at the condo after church, the Lord humbly reminded me of Easter’s true meaning–Jesus’ death and resurrection. Actually, He used the gorgeous mountains and beautiful sunsets, revealing to me His majestic power and new life in Him. My own little church service. It is true, His mercies are new every morning. (Thank God! I need His new mercies daily!) Great is His faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23. Praying you all had a wonderful Easter week!
