May 8, 2009

We got on a plane early this morning in Evansville. Had a little surprise when we got to the airport. There to greet us were John and Stella Bennett and Ken Parkman. It was nice to have good friends take time out of their early morning to see us off.

We boarded the plane and away we went. Our normally one hour or less flight to Atlanta took two hours because they routed us around some storms. No problem except it made our connection in Atlanta very tight. As is in, when we got to our terminal they told us they were re-opening the door for us to be able to get on the plane.

Three hours later we were in Honduras and being screened for the swine flu before they would allow us to enter the country. Or as the kids around here call it "Gripe Pig".

The truth is we were not excited to be returning to Honduras. Good or bad, right or wrong, strong or weak, our honest feeling was we would have preferred not to return. We would have preferred to have remained in the States with family, friends, a familiar culture, and not return. But, we also knew God wanted us in Honduras. So we got on the plane and here we are.
