49. Met some amazing people who have forever changed my life.
50. Cried thinking about leaving Honduras.
As this month comes to an end, it is very hard to leave. I have never felt such a connection to any country as I do with Honduras. The ministry this month has spoken to my heart and the boys this month are very important to me. I think its strange because we have only been here for 3 weeks, the shortest of all, but I feel like God will call me back to Honduras one day to work with Zion's Gate.
Going into this next month, the teams have changed and I am now with Wes Vickers, Hosanna Sheeley, Jo Linda Sala, Jill Schulenber, Robin Brooks and Naomi Angeline. Can't wait to see what God has in store for this new powerhouse of a team! Bring on Romania!
