For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Lessons learned in Honduras thus far...

1) Don't go anywhere by yourself unless you're taking a taxi and you know exactly how to say where you're going.  (and you may want to make sure that the taxi is willing to go where you want before you get in otherwise you might just have to get right back out and look a fool in front of the locals)

2) Don't wear silly bands or anything around your wrists to the hogar because the girls WILL take them away from you and not bring them back.

3) Sweep and mop and take out the trash.  It's dusty and toilet paper goes in the trash so this is essential.

4) Always keep a rain coat handy and don't leave your laundry outside to dry if you won't be back before 2 pm (it'll get rained on).

5) NEVER repeat something before you know what it means, especially if boys are telling you to say it.

6) If you're gonna teach, check the curriculum before you agree to teach the class or you might get stuck teaching agriculture and human reproduction.

And I'm sure the list will continue until the day I leave.  Lol.

  1. Oh, snap. Agriculture and human reproduction. Well, you've got the human reproduction part. If you need any embryo stuff I've got some great lectures on it I can send to you. The agriculture part not so much. Good luck! Sounds like a tough transition but just take it one day at a time and you'll get through it just fine!
