Hey friends, I'm back from Honduras! So how did it go? What did I do? Well, let me start with my team, then I'll tell you how we invested our two weeks together.

| The team (except Linda and Sharon) + Jonathan |
The churches of Weiser, Idaho have sent teams to Honduras bi-annually for the last ten years. Some of our team had been on previous trips, but it was the first time for many of us. Twelve are from Idaho, two from Minnesota, one from South Dakota, and one all the way from Connecticut (plus two Honduran translators). Despite our varying ages and geographical origins, we quickly became a family.

For three days, the team provided medical and dental aid to villages in the department of Yoro, doing gospel-centered songs, skits, and crafts with the children. I spent most of that time helping the dentist, Louisa.

Back in Tegucigalpa, we got involved in many activities at our home-base, Koinonia Baptist Church and Primary School.

Between painting the church and being invited into people's homes for lunch, we also had the chance to get involved with some local ministries.

It's hard to summarize all that the Lord did in those two weeks. Even within our team, growth was visible. I wish there were words to describe these wonderful people whom I've come to love so dearly.
