Honduras!!!

So, I've mentioned that I'm going to Honduras numerous times but never really explained it.  On Saturday, a group from my youth group (haha, that sounds funny!), 13 youth, 5 leaders and the son of one of the leaders, are flying down to Honduras for a week.  We are going as part of the MAMA project (sorry, I don't recall what MAMA stands for) and will be stationed in the MAMA house.  Each day we will take a vehicle of some sorts to a different village and set a clinic for the local people.  I think there will be a dentist, general medical care and some sort of eye doctor.  We will also be making cement floors for people out of sand and dirt and whatever else you use.  We're also brings tons of stuff to give away too so we'll also be doing that in each village.


We're leaving tomorrow evening, driving to Newark and staying overnight in a hotel right near the airport.  Then our flight leaves at 8:50am Saturday morning so I'm guessing we're not going to get a whole lot of sleep.  We fly home Saturday the 27th and basically do the reverse, stay in the same hotel that night and drive home Sunday.


I'm so excited because I've never been on a missions trip before and it will be so eyeopening to see how these people live.  It will be a completely different culture, warm weather, Spanish instead of English and I hope a really good bonding time for our youth group.  And flying and leaving the country is just fun.  And I'm excited to see how God uses us and excited to be His hands and feet and show other His love (not that I can't do that everyday, but not everyday in Honduras!)
