So there we sat, waiting patiently for the weather to clear so our plane could land. We waited. And waited. Our flight was originally supposed to board at 11:50. At 1:30 they announced over the intercom that our flight had been cancelled... our plane was going to stay in San Pedro Sula and not attempt to land at Tegucigalpa today. I must admit, my first feeling was excitement. Ah, the adventure of the mission field! :-)
Jerry and Sherri were still waiting for us, so we went through the process of picking up our luggage and securing a flight for tomorrow, and then came back here to guest house in Tegucigalpa.
Thankfully, most people still have good attitudes about this trip. :-D Some are quite disappointed... others (like me and Shianne and Julianna) are more thrilled than anything. One more night in Honduras! As Deanna reminded us... missionaries must be flexible. And as Angel quickly responded... can you touch your toes?
The drive back to the guest house from the airport was great. There were men and boys walking down the street between cars, selling everything from peanuts to bananas. And the traffic looked pretty horrendous to me... but Jeremy (our wonderful driver) said it wasn't bad. We're convinced that he is the best driver in Honduras. Who else could do a U-turn in a 15-passenger van in the middle of a traffic jam when the street light is out without even bumping another car or the curb? He's good.
All that to say don't worry... we are safe and sound at the guest house, and will hopefully be flying out tomorrow. We are still praising the Lord, and most of us are willing to continue having fun on this our adventure. :-) We love you all, and look forward to seeing you soon, albeit a day late. God bless, and keep us in your prayers!
