It has been a dream of mine to return to Hondolandia since I got back from my mission there (FIVE years ago! Gah!). I promised the folks that I'd be back, and they told me that all the missionaries always said that, but I told them that I meant it.
I totally did. We went from Weds July 21 to Weds July 28 and it was amazing. Surreal, miraculous, fantastic, funny, and so good. I posted all the photos on facebook so they are all visible there. I'll post some of my faves here. These are people that have continued in the gospel, and it shows on their faces. They've been to the temple with plans to return, and they have the peace that comes from living as a disciple of Christ. I love them and I seek to be more like these beloved, humble, generous, devoted people. They may have little in the way of material possessions and comforts, yet they are happy. I miss them.
p.s. Jason was a champ, and somehow managed to be funny despite his limited Spanish. And he navigated us around the country like a pro. And didn't even crash despite the CRAZY drivers there. And came back with serious intestinal woes. We're hoping he gets into a doctor tomorrow. Oh, Honduras....

It's so true, I told them I would return and haven't, but I'm so glad you got to prove them wrong and actually go! I seriously felt so old looking at your pictures though. How can all of those kids be so grown up and I'm still so young?? :)
Yea! That is awesome that you and Jason were able to go.
i bet morgan is dying that you got to go.
i'm planning to go to SA this december. i want to keep my promise too.

That is awesome that you got to go back! What fun that must have been. Rich wants to take me to Russia someday.... someday.
That is so neat that you were able to go back to your mission and visit. How exciting. I have been home 9 years and have not gone back to my mission and it was to Arizona!
