Simply Christian

Hello everybody! It´s been a while since I´ve written here in my little blog and honestly I´ve missed it. It´s nice to record some memories and it brings some perspective. It even makes me laugh remembering some moments that at the time they were happening made me want to scream, and believe me, I´ve had a few of those lately.

We finally made it to Tegucigalpa about a week ago after some time visiting Fabiola´s father in San Pedro Sula. I won´t go in to much detail about the visit in San Pedro Sula, but a few words to describe that visit would be: hot, humid, awkward, hot, sweaty, strange, and hot. Yes, that´s right, more hot just like in Phoenix only with about 99.9% humidity. It was great, I think I lost about 10 pounds just walking from our bedroom to the living room every day. It was almost a bit like torture because in the room we slept in there was an air conditioner unit right there, right over the bed we slept in, a really big, powerful-looking one that would probably put out tons of wonderful, dry, cool air...BUT IT DIDN´T WORK!!! It was just there, taunting us, . I tried to turn it on a couple of times in desparation but it smelled at first like rotten fish and then finally like burning plastic...in my desparation I told Faby she was just imagining those smells, but I finally had to deal with the reality of setting the house´s electrical system on fire...so I finally caved and then proceeded to sweat for 4 days straight.

When we finally got here to Tegucigalpa, I almost wept tears of joy. The weather is wonderful here!!! It´s as if God was saving the best for last! It´s averaged around 65 to 80 degrees here and its been WONDERFUL. We have had a great time visiting with Fabiola´s mom as well, she is such a special person. Praise God, I´ve also been able to drink some of the most wonderful coffee in the world at the Espresso Americano. God is so good to us, He made coffee and sugar and milk and refrigeration for making ice...these are such wonderful blessings! Well, I guess I´ll close for now, please keep us in your prayers. We´ll be here in Tegucigalpa for a good while before we begin our trek home. We hope to visit with Gerizim Church and several other friends and family members while we´re here and we always ask that you pray that God keep us safe as we travel! As I think I´ve mentioned before, the driving mentality is quite different here...anyway, blessings and we´ll be talking again soon! PSanders.
