Sorry for the Delay

Well, I had planned on writing this entry much earlier in the month but between helping with my father and reverse culture shock, I was busy and also avoiding the memories of having to leave.

As most of you know the reason for my departure was because of the political unrest in Honduras. One of the hardest things I've done in my lifetime was leaving behind all of my friends that didn't have the same opportunity to leave the country of Honduras like we did. It was especially difficult leaving without being able to say goodbye to the children in Mogote and the people we served near the stadium. But I suppose it's not really goodbye; it's just see you later. I plan to return to Honduras as soon as the political situation and college allow. As of today Amber Foster, the missionary I worked with, is planning on returning on Tuesday the 28th. Man, I wish I could return with her. Unfortunately, I have to return to school soon so I must wait a little longer. 

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. Thank you for reading and commenting. This was one of the best experiences of my lifetime. I have truly been blessed to have had this opportunity and to have formed what I believe will be lifetime relationships with the people I met in Honduras, both Honduran and those who visited from the United States.

Thank you again, 
Teresa

Dios te bendiga (God bless you)

No Quiero Salir

Well, the time has come. As much as I don´t want to leave, I now have to because of safety issues. The political situation continues to get worse and we´re not sure when it will get better. If things clear up fairly soon myself and some others are hoping to return quickly.

The work God is doing in Honduras is powerful and I have been so blessed to be apart of it. I am very sad to leave. It´s hard because I feel like I´m abandoning all these people I´ve been working with and love.

As I said, I´m leaving Honduras tomorrow late morning. All the missionaries I know are leaving. Because of the political unrest.

Please pray for the future of this country and for the people as they go through this process. Thank you for supporting my work here.
