I have really been blessed with a great community of wonderful coworkers and friends here in Honduras. Recently; however, it has been kind of sad because two of my good friends (who are foreigners as well) left Honduras because their time of service is finished. I’m so grateful for the friendship we have and memories we shared together, but it’s hard to see them go!

Here’s a picture of me and Signe (she’s from Denmark). Stewardship of Christian Ministries has a partnership with a Danish organization called Impact; every 6 months, 4 Danish volunteers come to serve at SCM for 4-6 months, and they usually help in the classrooms, daycares, and in general just working with youth.

Here’s a picture with Grace, me, and Rachel out for dinner for Grace’s going away dinner. Grace lived with my family for most of the time I have been here, so we shared a lot together.

Sarah recently had a costume party for her birthday. Costumes ranged from Santa Claus, a geisha, princesses, the 3 wisemen, Charlie’s Angels, 80’s fitness instructor, tourist, and much more. I had fun because of the costumes, but I also realized that I am starting to become more comfortable around people. There are still PLENTY of awkward moments, but little by little relationships develop. A shout out to Yoli for helping me with my ladybug costume!
