we're off again

Its still surreal to say, but yes we are heading back to Honduras.  In fact we are leaving later today.  So i thought we should let you know that.  A few months ago we decided we had to come back.  Some of the families we are close to were struggling and our hearts went out to them.  Katlyn, Dan, and I looked up prices and the tickets were cheap enough that we could go.  Of course tonight we will have to spend the night in the Atlanta airport, but there is always a cost to cheap plane tickets.  We are so excited.  This semester of school was really difficult.  Classes were hard, I was working a lot in the hospital, and was busy just about all of the time with young life.  But it was also a sweet semester.  Christ was good in all of it and continually drew me closer to him. And now he is giving me/us a break. I am excited to go back to Honduras. I am excited for the warm weather and for the peace the simple life there brings. But I am the most excited to see friends.  I am excited to finally meet baby allison.  Amazingly, Milades gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby allison a few weeks after we left.  I am excited to see our kinder kids, to see the twins, and all of our little friends.  I am not sure what updating the blog will look like since we are only there for 10 days.  I probably won't want to spend much time on the internet.  But I will do my best.  This time we are mainly going just to visit and help out some of our friends.  Our plan is to build a chicken coup or two and buy some chickens for some friends.  Its funny because none of us know what that looks like.  How do you build a coup? But thats what we said about the bunk beds and that turned out perfectly fine.  So here we go.  another adventure.  We are blessed, we know that.  We ask that you continually pray for us as we figure out what God wants out of these few days there.  This is the best christmas present any of could have asked for.
