| Boarder of Guatemala and Honduras |
I got on a 8am bus from the capital in Guatemala thanks to my good friend Karla. About an hour before arriving to San Pedro Sula the bus broke down and we had to wait for a smaller bus to come get us and take us to our final destination. After arriving I waited for Jeannette to pick me up (The main ESL instructor). Her and her husband along with their 2 children took me to the church service. I probably knew about 2 people and it was nice to see some familiar faces. I met my host, Glenys and after service she took me to her home. I met her husband and two young children.
Honduras is a very warm country, but I do not feel uncomfortable since I have been in air conditioned rooms. Glenys has been an amazing host and she always is offering me food or water.

Yesterday was an adventure. Glenys is an ESL student and her English is very good. So good that she is now assisting the teacher. Glenys went with me to the meeting I had with Jeannette and after the meeting we didn't had a ride back home so we took a mini-bus back to her house. I was a little apprehensive, but I obviously did not have a choice. Honduras a very dangerous country as well.
We were able to get in the front seat and enjoyed the ride. There was a lot of traffic and the driver was swerving through traffic and at one point he got on the sidewalk to cut through traffic. I held on to Glenys for dear life! I was in disbelief, that it was happening. I told Glenys that what the driver did is called "off roading." We laughed and she kept saying that it was an Indiana Jones adventure. |

What have I learned? Gosh, so many things. I have been praying so much for God to guide me through the path that I am on. What does the future hold? Where is He calling me to be? Am I still walking on the correct path and with the right people?
The conversations I have been having, I have come up with something big about myself; I sometimes do not trust and most of the time it's God whom I do not trust. Why? Because I'm afraid, afraid of the future, of what I cannot see or control.
The things that I have questioned like my relationship, where I am currently living and many more things are because I allow the fear of the unknown to shake my inner core. People might look at my life and not think that about me. I mean who in their right mind sells it all, moves to a different country, travels by themselves to another dangerous country and says they have fear???? Well, me hahaha
I am doing new things at the hogar. I started a mommy and me group with the teens and their children. I want to give more of me. I think part of it was a step towards not fearing on stepping over toes. I want to teach, but I also need to learn. I am super thankful for the opportunity to share my knowledge with them. In return, they are teaching me so many more things about life.
I want to trust, I want to be secure and allow myself to walk the path that God has set forth before me. I guess for now all I can do is continue to pray, fill myself up with His word and walk this journey.
