ok i'm back, i know it's been awhile, sorry. the past couple days have been quite exciting. yesterday i went with Tim, Lori, and Janet to Danli for the dedication of a children's nutrition center. the center was sponsored by Brazos Abiertos (Open Arms), the vice president's wife's foundation. so i got to shake the hand and talk to the vice president of Honduras...sweet! it was a very cool project and very encouraging to sense patriotism and a social consciousness among Hondurans, powerful, rich Hondurans. the vice president and his wife are amazing people, and he is in disagreement with the current president and his actions, which is really good. we are praying that he wins the next election, they are very supportive of Torch's work here. on our way back from Danli, we stopped in a tiny town on a side of a mountain (like most other small towns here) called Yuscaran. it was an amazing little town, definitely off the beaten path. cobblestone streets (if you can call them streets), a 550 year old church, no tourist stops, the works. we ate lunch in an itty bitty restaurant (as in a woman's home) and the food was spectacular, best mashed potatoes i've had to date. then we stumbled upon an old police barracks that was in ruins, and there we found a breath taking view. we were in awe. the pictures are so cool, and yet they barely do the sights justice. talk about observing God's awesome creations. it was a such a treasure to stumble upon the town, we will definitely return. enjoy the pictures!
