The North Coast.

This past weekend was amazing! Really my whole time here has been great! But this weekend was a true blessing. I got to go down to Balfate, Honduras which is about a 6 hour drive from where I'm at now. However, since I went along with a family, who is looking for a place to serve, we got to stop at many different places. I got to meet three National Pastors and their families and that in itself was a blessing. I even got to stay the night in Tela with one of the Pastors and his wife, there I had to use my Spanish. I can say that night we laughed a lot! I couldn't understand them all the time and they couldn't understand me all the time but we made it through the night and had fun just talking. (Or trying to. lol) We left the seminary on Thursday and we stopped in Tela and La Ceiba and then went on to Balfate, there we stayed the night. Thursday we toured the hospital and went to a fellowship thing that was for all of the missionaries that were working in and around the hospital. It was fun to be around all of the people and be able to hear what kind of ministry they do here in Honduras.
Friday morning Mark Fittz and I took a young lady to the bilingual school that she worked out. That Friday was a holiday and even though the kids didn't have school they still showed up. I thought that was really night. We got to hang out with the kids and talk with them, since it was a bilingual school some of the kids knew English very well. We hung out at the school for about a hour or so. While there a missionary who works in the Hospital and does ministry in the rural areas and in different schools in the area showed. He pulls out a piece of cloth and the kids all gather around and starts singing a song, first in Spanish then in English. The song starts out from the beginning of the bible and end with the resurrection of Christ. Then they pull out another piece of cloth and starts singing about the Continents, and other things. It was so great to watch the children and even the Principle of the school singing! It is a great ministry!
I got to experience that and then after that we got to go to the Children home. Which is one of my favorite things to do so far. While in the States my mom collected stuffed animals for me to take with me when I went back to Honduras. Since I had them I was able to had them out to the children! You should have seen them! It was amazing! I didn't get to meet all the children that live there because the older ones were in school but I did get to meet all of the little ones which was such a privilege. After all the little ones got there stuffed animals Iain and Liz, the directors of the children home (Missionaries from Scottland) gave us all a tour of the place. We didn't get to stay very long but the time that I was there was such a blessings. I got to hear about the ministry that they do there and also hear some of the stories of the children. Some of their stories are heart breaking, and they will bring tears to your eyes. But it also brought joy to me when I got to hand out the stuffed animals and play with them. It was a great privilege and honor to be able to go there. 
After the children home we headed back to Tela but we made a few stops to visit Pastors and their families. It was nice to even get to hear their heart and their ministry. All together the weekend was very successful and a huge blessings. I look forward to going back to those places. I do hope I get to go back soon.

Well I need to head out. So until next time.
