Onward to Siguatepeque


Well, as Matt said this morning, sure enough there was an earthquake last night! I really thought it was a dream at first! It was crazy!! I've never been in an earthquake before, so this was quite an experience. Thankfully, the damage done was minimal, compared to other quakes of that magnitude. There were 40 injuries and 6 deaths, as well as many homes and a few bridges collapsing. What's really crazy is this is the first quake to happen in Honduras. God definitely had a plan for us being here. We'll be able to do some repair work on homes over the next few weeks. Praise God for his mercy in keeping us safe!

About our day: I woke up thinking I had slept in, but found out it was actually 6:45 am. How crazy! I am not a morning person, but for whatever reason I felt great at such an ungodly hour. We made pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and lounged around for the first half of the day. It was great to get some reading done! After lunch we piled in the Explorer to go two hours south of San Pedro Sula to Siguatepeque. Siguat for short, has around 60,000 people spread over a large area. It's out in the country, and very beautiful! I'll try to post some more pictures tomorrow!


Love you all and thanks for your continued prayers!
