Well, the blog is about to get a little more interesting for a short while at least!
Josh and I are headed to Honduras for about 5 days. We leave on Saturday. We leave the kids behind (!!!) with Josh's parents. They'll have a blast! I'm struggling with leaving them behind though. Gracie's been in much better health lately, few seizures, and no recent seizures requiring diastat, so she'll be fine... it's me... Missing even a day of my kids' antics is so hard on me!
We are going to Northern rural honduras east of La Ceiba on an exploratory trip to determine if this rural mission hospital is where God would have us serve for the next four years. Very exciting! See below for an email that I just sent out. If you are not on our email list and would like to be, let me know!
Pray us along our trip:
Depart Boston, Saturday Feb 21st at 11:30am, fly through LGA (New York) and Miami, arriving in San Pedro Sula at 7:55pm.
Saturday night: Spend the night with our dear friend Lourdes Molina in San Pedro Sula.
Sunday morning: Meet up with Leon and Judy Greene and travel with them to the hospital (over 5 hours away by road) either by private car or by bus (depending on if the Greene's car is running).
Monday through Wednesday: interview with leadership, explore, ask questions, meet people… (Walk the beach? Get some rest?)
Wednesday night or Thursday morning: return to San Pedro Sula (likely by bus).
Depart San Pedro Sula, Thursday Feb 26th at 3:25pm, fly through Miami, arriving in Boston at 11:55pm.
Information about Honduras:
WHERE? We will be in Balfate at Loma de Luz in the village of Quinta in the state of Colon.
TIME ZONE: Honduras is 1 hour behind USA Eastern Time.For current time and weather conditions in San Pedro Sula, go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=614 . San Pedro Sula is the closest big city but is a slightly different climate.
WEATHER: Balfate is on the coast and is generally in the 80's Fahrenheit. Rainy season is just ending.
HONDURAS?! Balfate?! Where?! Go to http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/americas/honduras.jpg for a detailed map of Honduras. Balfate is actually listed on this map – look along the northern coast half way across the country. We fly into San Pedro Sula (north-western edge of the country inland) and will drive through La Ceiba to get to Balfate. Honduras is bordered by El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
Other info: The CIA Factbook at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ho.html is a great link for any country's data. This link will take you to Honduras' page.

Pray for Us:
1. That God's glory would be proclaimed as we travel.
2. To be like Christ.
3. Wisdom and discernment regarding God's will for our field of service.
4. Clarity of mind and speech in interacting with others.
5. That we would be an encouragement and blessing to those who come across our path.
6. Safety and health for all of us.
7. Healthy and happy girls with healthy and happy grandparents for the week.
8. Smooth travels, no trouble in customs with the equipment that we are bringing in for missionaries, smooth connections.
9. Peace (especially for Abby) as the family is separated from each other.
10. Rejuvenation and sleep!
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support!
