Home sweet Home

It's hard to beleive we're now sitting comfortably in our homes. It feels like two worlds have intertwinded together; although them being so drastically different.

Their was a lot of giggleling on the plane ride home. Our friend Kristen, a flight attendant, to our great surprise was working that very same shift. She spoiled us so much, how grateful we felt after 2 days of traveling! In fact, one lady noticed our enthousiasum that on the way out of the airport she inquired why. I told her why we went to Honduras and that we are Witnesses! The preaching work was so continuous throughout our journey, it feels so refreshing!

In the end, we feel appreciative of various things, simple things, like our brotherhood, a glass of water from the tap, a warm shower (wait a minute, it's not over, b/c I just took a shiver-freezing shower a few minutes ago, the tank not being warmed up yet)lol

But seriously, all things being said and done: No matter where we are in the world, we feel more than ever that our territory is our responsibility. As long as we continue giving our very best and work hard at it, we will be blessed for now & forever...

Back in San Pedro Sula

Well, we are back at square one, where the hole adventure began. It feels bitter sweet, leaving here, it kinda changed our perspective on so many things. It was heartbreaking to leave our family and friends behind, many tears were shed... Pam & Dave, Fillipo & Aleasha left for Bethel on a different bus today. We are thinking about them in our prayers since their journey could be a very tricky one...

Tomorrow we will rise & shine early and head for the airport. It will be a long voyage. But there is also a warm & cozy feeling about coming home.

Details from the past few days

Sorry guys for not blogging everyday. It hasn't always been practical using the computer. Many of us needed to use it, so we had to take turns.

We have done many fun things in between theoc. activities. We saw a turtle, a lobster, one big sting ray, a snake, iguanas etc. Six of us went on the banana boat, it wasn't very fast, so we had to make our own waves by playing musical chairs or standing up on it or hanging of the back dragging in the water. The fun thing is we always all wiped out at the same time!

Yesterday, we went zip linning. Even Lois! She had the time of her life! A guide took very good care of her, so cute. I got twisted around on my first run (should of known better not to let go) and smashed into the guide (on the first plateform) almost taking Lois out... Only my elbow and my pride were bruised ... lol

Afterwards, we enjoyed natural hot springs in the middle of the rain forest. There were different levels of hot pools, it seems you could climb up forever. We also covered our bodies with mud. Let it dry and rinsed off. Our skin felt so amazing!

We spent the evening with an ex-missionary couple. They were assigned to Honduras, had 5 children and are now serving in Pam & Dave's host cong. They were so hospitable and generous. They had people over for lunch, then they had a hole new gang for supper. They ordered pizza, and she baked as well, chicken wings, a hot pasta dish with olives and carrot cake... We listened to their stories, looked through old pictures (they served in Quebec Magog in the 1940's) and the new Kingdom songs were playing in the background (they aren't using the new song book yet).

This is our last day before heading for San Pedro. It's rainy and we are going shopping!!! youppi

ps( It wasn't me who forgot my luggage, I won't say not to embarrass the person)

La Ceiba Centro congregation

A little drama at the port today. We arrived on time, but one bag was missing. It was left in the hotel room in Roatan. Had to pay for a taxi to a.s.a.p bring it before the last boat left. Fortunately, it did and no passports were stolen.

Arrived at the Brothers 'hotel' again and we changed right away to catch the 5pm meeting in Spanish. They were so warm and welcoming. They all wanted us to stay. Most of us commented in spanish, we had different ones whispering the answers in our ears, just like little kids... could we ever feel our hearts pounding, ouf!

Yesterday, the freakiest thing happened. I was lying in a hammock on the beach, and 5 feet away from me was a group of french Quebequois', but I didn't pay much attention to them until Peter got up and someone recognized him and next thing you know, a petite blonde Valerie G. yells out: "Chloe! oh my goodness, my cousin was on the same beach as me! She left home for B.C. today. It was nice to catch up.

Heading for La Ceiba

So we are now at the final part of our adventure. We hop on a ferry at 2pm. And should make it for the 5pm meeting. This cong. is the host of Pam & Dave's little Utila group. So that will be nice for them to meet the brothers again.

Write to you later!

Experiences

Remind us to tell you an incredible story that it would be better to relate in person.

We went to the english cong. they are 30 pub. but we were a full house of visitors in such. They had a resolution for putting in a new toilet in the sister's washroom, they fully explained why they needed a new one, the flush and so on...

It was very hot today. Most of us have a severe burns, everyone is loading up on aloe.

Time is still going by slowly. We wake up with the crack of dawn (5h30pm) and by 7pm we are dead. It feels like we've been here a month.

ps(They sang so loud and enthusiastically, it puts us to shame)

Great weather no clouds, made it safe and sound!

What a beautiful saling experience. The captain found out we were Witnesses and told Pam & Dave he will gave them a bit a break from now on b/c of their volunteer work. We are so happy for them, it will make it more easy for them to come to the main land.

We are staying in the resort owned by Witnesses, ex-missionaries, they are lovely. Our view is divine. Full 180 ocean view, oh it's gorgeous. We now have hot showers! yeah!

Tomorrow we are going to the english meeting and meet the brothers. Funny thing, we were in the local grocery store and saw a few young people, well dressed, and we thought, they must be... and sure enough they were from Toronto. The world in the truth is so small.

ps( Thanks for your comments, it's exciting for us. And yes, I am glad for getting the dollarama baby clothes because oh, they so needed it! By the way, were is it Thea that you went zip lining, I beleive we are right beside it)
