*sigh*Life in Honduras is tiring... but that's a good thing. At the end of each day, when the sun has set, I feel as though I have completed another step in accomplishing the tasks that God has given me. It's a nice feeling to have, a feeling of purpose and direction!
When I really think about it and analyze where I'm at and what I'm doing at this point in my life, it's kind of cool to know that I'm doing something that I have been called to do, I'm working for something and towards a reachable goal. The only life goal I've ever had was to graduate from college with a degree, but once I hit high school that goal seemed too far off for me to feel that I was actually getting somewhere. This is different because I know that with everyday comes new ideas, new challenges, new lessons to learn, new feelings and new people.
After a brief appearance in the US last week due to a death in the family, I returned to Honduras last Monday rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. Since the last time I blogged, 7 other volunteers have arrived and we are still expecting one more this coming Monday. Our volunteer family consists of 2 German girls and 2 German guys, a young married couple from Southern, another girl from Southern University, myself and my roommate from Andrews, and another guy from Chicago. Everyone seems nice and we have all been getting along so far (knock on wood!).
Since, for the most part, we are all here now, our job titles have been decided and I am now the official english teacher at the elementary school for 1st-6th grade and for 10th and 11th grades at the high school. I must admit I am not super excited about this, I had really wanted to be in charge of the little boys: wake them up, put them to bed, eat with them, etc. I like them, their fun! But alas, God has other plans for me. That's usually how it works, I get the absolute last thing that I wanted so that God can teach me some kind of lesson from it! ahh... Looking at the glass half full, I will get to take care of the little boys on the weekends, so I'm happy for that.
In an attempt to stop myself from rambling on, I shall end this blog, but please take note of the address change in my previous blog.
Thank you for reading :) Please pray for me and my fellow student missionaries often!
Later gators...
