HOME

We made it home, though it was looking like we were going to be stranded in NY city at one point in the journey back. We were an hour late leaving Miami, but fortunately our connecting flight to HFX was also running an hour late so we so made it. Unfortunately, still no word on our luggage that has been touring the continent for the past 10 days.

We’re back and a little exhausted. As Ed mentioned, a few of us have not been feeling the greatest - thank you God for Pepto Bismal. But we’re all recovering fine.

Now the real challenge begins. What do we do with the knowledge we’ve gained? How do we help these project communities in a way that will make a difference? We have some thoughts and we would like to share those on April 12 at 6:30pm. We would also like to see more in our church sponsor children as they have many children needing sponsorship. Especially in light of the US recession, they are losing much of their support with people no longer being able to finance sponsorship. It is putting a huge financial strain on Compassion as they don’t feel they can just stop helping the children they have been working with. One project has about 15 children ready to sponsor, the same with the other, with the need for about another 50 by August.

Thank you to all who have been following this blog and praying for us. It was a very meaningful experience. I too want to thank Sherri for all the hard planning work into all this especially in light of the fact she wasn’t able to come with us. Dave, this blog concept works great. I’m surprised by all the people who have been reading this.

We’ve gained much experience in how to better go about doing a mission tour to Honduras. This was our practise run through, now we’re much wiser (even about luggage). So who wants to go next year? Max 14 people! It’s a life perspective changing experience!
