Home again …

We landed on Saturday evening at 4:30pm after two rough flights from San Pedro Sula to Houston and then on to Washington Dulles.  We piled into our van, which drove like a Cadillac, and began the trip home.  We made a few stops, including supper in VA, where PD’s brother Motz met us briefly on his way to visit friends and make a business trip to OH.  It was great to see him again.  We also stopped at least once because everybody was fit for only one thing … sleep!  We arrived home at 2:15 am.   Our beds were appreciated more than usual that day! 

Thank-you, Lord, for a very good time in Honduras.  It feels right to be back with family in NC, but we sure do miss our family in Erandique.  On the way home, Esther remarked to me, “I’m so sad that we left all our friends in Honduras.  I’m not even happy that we are going home.”  Is that how a 7-yr-old expresses culture shock?

 I’ll share some of our pics with you here …
