Right now I am sitting at the computer in el restaurante de La Hospital Evangelico, where I live with Enrique and Norma Martinez. That song ¨Girls Just want to have fun¨is playing on the radio. Its funny to listen to a playlist of 80s and 90s classics in a place like this... Anyways, I wanted to post and let you all know that I made it safe and sound, after two flights and a 2 hour bus ride flipping through my little diccionario to be able to talk to the attendants. Though my spanish is very poor, I´ve been able to survive up to this point. Hopefully I will come home in 6 weeks speaking more easily.
The last couple of days I have been basically tagging along with another team from my home church that has been helping out with medical things. (this has been such a blessing, as I adjust to my new surroundings) Next monday, after they leave, I will begin my real assignment which is to take over for the english teacher at PRODIM who left just a few weeks ago. PRODIM is a after (or before) school supplementary program. Supposedly they will give me a copy of one of the students text books from school so I can figure out lessons to supplement what they are already learning. I will have classes ranging in age all the way Kindergarten to eigth grade. Please pray for me in this. I want to be a good teacher, but I don´t really know what I´m doing :)
Norma and Enrique are the perfect hosts. THey are extrememly hospitable, while freeing my up to have some freedom to move about as I need to. One thing I´ve learned is that time is a relative concept to the Hondureno. He respects it but he seems to respect relationship with people more and so that is why in the words of the principal of our bilingual school here ¨HOndurans never get anything done, but they have alot of friends.¨
Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
Please continue to pray for peace, language skill, my ingles clases, deeper relationships with people in my community, and a freedom from fear.
Thank you all!!
Y Dios Le Bendiga!
