I would try to give you the replay of my week but I cannot exactly remember how it has all gone. So let me tell you the highlights.
Worked with the team this week some and took them to Tegucigalpa yesterday and picked up a new team. I had about an hour to head to the mall and do some errands. I think it was the first time I felt American. I was booking it around the mall walking around all the chilling slow walking Hondurans. But I am proud to say I got something at Sportline (aka FinishLine in the US), photos printed for one of my girls, ate lunch, got some lotion, and got some cash. In a mall that is impossible to get from up to downstairs. I think they do it on purpose.
The June container came in while I was gone. My box from a friend is on it. But since I wasn't there it is still in the warehouse. When I got back with the team Wade said that he wanted me to do orientation. I didn't have my list and I wasn't mentally prepared. Wade said that if I did it he would get my box for me. I didn't. He said "We are supposed to always be ready." I told him I would be glad to tell Him all about Jesus.
Then this afternoon a group showed up and wanted a tour so Wade called me down from my book reading/nap time on my day off and I said "You know what this means right!?" He laughed and said yes. I didn't get my box but the group blessed me with a "tip" which I found slightly ridiculous…. and a hammer moment from the Lord, my head IS a rock. Since I was complaining about having to go do it. Way to go Lord. Way to show me up. Note taken.
I have had the opportunity to meet with another girl this week- she speaks good english. I had another say "when will you take me to the store!?" I said next week. But my rule is that she has to answer five questions. The day after I took Johana, Ruth came and said "So what are the questions!?" I told her I couldn't tell her because they may be different for her. I can tell she is a little stressed about it. I look forward to those moments.
The kids are all out of school so there is a lot of time to fill which can lend to some good intentional conversations.
I got my report from CMC this week. And brought to tears over the reminder of how folks pray for me and support me financially. I am astounded repeatedly how you believe in God's work here.
oh. and i have one more Dr. Pepper. Praying for supernatural provision on that one. 🙂 hahaha
I am going to try to take some pics with my kids to post this week. I love them. Grateful for the time here.
