We've Made It!

We've made it!  After about 10 hours of traveling we have begun to settle in.  We would like to praise God for the safe travels, allowing all of us to make it through customs (Mike J. got held up due to having the same name as a man on the no-fly-list), and for the majority of our baggage making it through safely.  Lisa's checked bag didn't leave the Atlanta tarmac, but it should arrive here either tomorrow or Monday. 
We have met several of the missionaries we will be working with and have been informed of the plan for the week.  However, as we all know a plan is a platform for change!  We have been encouraged to be very flexible.

In regards to hydration, we have also been informed that we need to drink 1 liter an hour!  It is also highly recommended that we alternate between water and gatorade.  Please pray that we will all hydrate appropriately and avoid any problems with heat exhaustion. 
Our first meal in Honduras was one of local cuisine, which was very tasty!  So far, there are no stomach problems, but please continue to pray that it stays that way :).
Tomorrow we will be attending a church service in the morning with the missionaries here at the compound where we are staying.  Next we will be getting a tour of our worksites which will be followed by a program led by lead missionaries about sexual abuse and things to look for while we are here.  We will then attend a local church in the afternoon.
Please pray that we all get lots of well-needed rest tonight and that planning goes well tomorrow.  Also pray that Lisa's bag arrives in a timely manner.  Finally, please pray that we will all be very flexible this week.

Thank you so much for your prayers, and let us hear from you!  Since most of us did not bring our phones, this is our one line of communication with you.
