My alarm went off this morning and I was tired, sore, and ready to wake up back in Napa. It was only day 3, but yesterday wore me out. Nevertheless, we rolled out of bed to go grab a bite to eat and head back up to the village. If I'm honest, for most of the 45 minute drive up to the Village I was fighting feelings of wishing for the comforts of home. However, as we turned the final corner before arriving at the village we were welcomed by 60+ kids waiting on the road, excited to have us back...

Today we got to meet the people of the Village "La Germania 1" which we will be working in all week. The community is largely if not completely comprised of coffee farmers who rely on coffee as their means of income. They are a people group who very rarely will leave their village (which is roughly 40 minutes from the heart of the city of Siguatepeque where we are staying). Their livelihood is living off of the land. They lack running water, as well as electricity. Primitive may be an understatement...

It was a long and tiring travel day, but after a red-eye flight from SFO, a 4 hour layover in Houston from 3:30am - 7:30am, to a 4+ hour drive across Honduras with one of the greatest drivers I've ever been in a car with, we made it! Overall, it was a really smooth journey; however, I don't think anyone of us expected it to take roughly 21+ straight hours of travel time. The first thing that we all noticed about Honduras is that it is stinking hot and humid! Waiting in line at immigration in a window-less room with roughly 400 of our newest Honduran friends...

I think I may have an unhealthy obsession with thinking about the end of my life. I have always wondered what I will be known for after I die. It is one of the questions that propels me to try and live differently. And the more I read about Jesus, and the more I read the writers of the New Testament, it becomes clear that as Christians above all things, we should be known for the way we love.
In verse 7 of 1st Corinthians 13, Paul describes love this way, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." Paul sandwiches the words “believes” and “hopes” in between “bears” and “endures” and without a doubt he did so intentionally...
