November is here. This month is going to be quite different from my other time here. Its going to be a lot more flexible and a lot less planned out.
Yesterday, I went to Honduras for an area wide church service. It was an excellent time to see our brothers and sisters from Ocotepeque (I JUST learned how to spell that, finally!) and to meet some new brothers and sisters from other parts of Honduras.
Today and tomorrow are holidays here in Central America. And yes, they like their holidays. It seems like theres always a holiday or some special event going on. For example, Monday is the holiday, but school is canceled for Tuesday as well, as a Dia de Descansar. Yeah, thats day of rest. We are taking a day of rest from having a vacation day. Then the school year ends next week. This week the school kids have their English final. After that, I will have a lot of test grading and getting their final grades in order.
Ive been thinking for the last few weeks of what I would do during my last month here before going to visit the States. I was worried I wouldnt have anything to do. But I know God has several adventures planned for me. This week, I'm hoping to visit Casa de Mi Padre. Its an orphanage in San Salvador that is doing some really great things. My plan is to meet with them and see the good work that they are doing. Hopefully I can learn from some of the things they are accomplishing and take that back to the work in LaPalma.
Im also hoping to work in Ocotepeque for a week this month. The goal is to teach a week long English seminar with English lessons and English Bible lessons. Please pray that this is successful. After that, I'm considering meeting up with another mission group to help build houses for a week further into Honduras. As of right now, I'm not sure the exact details and if this will come to be, but I know God has a plan and I'm just trying to be flexible.
We are also recieving a large shipment from the States. I will be working with the Lalli's to take care of unloading the shipment and organizing it.
Also, we have a group from the States coming the first week of December. We are planning a VBS for that week and I need to get working on those bilingual lesson plans for the kids.
A very busy month and I'm so blessed to be apart of all of it. The great thing about living here is you wake up not knowing what you will be able to do that day, and then God surprises you with something amazing. Some unexpected way you can bless someone and in return, you walk away just as blessed.
