Happy Easter!!

As you have probably noticed I haven't been updating this! Sorry, what with lack of speedy internet at times, lack of time and lack of motivation! But a new start....

Here's a very quick overview of what has happened the past 2 months...

Well my friend Jenny (was Grove) from Mayfield (CYFA camp) days was working for Tearfund in Latin America so managed to fit in 3 days in Honduras!! She came and stayed with me and interviewed someone from my church for her Tearfund work and it was lovely to have someone who knows me and my culture stay a while. A true blessing - and a right laugh!


Work plods on, has it ups and downs, hard times and fun times.


It has been a bit tough at times still settling down again after time at home cos I know I'm coming back in July for 2 weeks so am thinking about home...as much as I desperately love coming home it doesn't help me feel settled here!


This week has been Semana Santa - Holy Week. We only get this week off school..agghhh...but it has been wonderful. I chose not to go on the Youth Group camp...a decision which upset a lot of people! Instead I went to Belize with Sue and her family. They had to go to renew their visas and asked me along. It was just exaclty what I needed to relax and unwind. Beautiful beaches and just getting away. The weather here is just plain weird...why is it raining in the hottest month of the year???? So we had some rain but nothing terrible and was still fun. The amazing news is that the Vissers pretty much paid everything for me - talk about an amazing gift at just the right time!!


Here is a link to the photos....(click on it!)

So, after I got back from Belize on Wednesday night all my friends went off to camp on Thursday morning - til Tonight (Sunday). It was actually really nice to have time at home to read my books and relax. I spent time with the Haglers (lovely Missinoary family here) and went for lunch with the Vissers. I am trying to work out the balance between spending time with my friends (all Honduran) and spending time with friends and people from my own culture - to help keep the balance. Is a tough line to follow but I'm trying!


Today, being Easter Sunday, I went to the Sunrise service that is held as a united services for all the Evangelical churches in town. Had to be there at 5am! Luckily round the corner. I do love singing all the old hymns! I videoed some for you - I clearly have to work on my camera skills and next time not sit in front of a loud singing lady!! But it gives you an idea of what it's like...screachy and all!!


..Because He lives....

I couldn't upload the others on my super-slow internet!! But you can see 1!

Here are some photos I took today of Sheba who is looking more like the lioness Nala from Lion King every day!!! She is getting enormous and is only 3 months! She got stung by a wasp today and so is sporting a fat lip on her already too-big-for-her-body head!

Now I have this little flip video thing (bought down for me from the States I can start posting videos of my life here..I promise to work on my camera skills!)
