Coming Home

Our boat trip home was much nicer. The boat was bigger and was roofed, much more comfortable. However, I was almost left behind. As I took the picture of the dock, the captain was firing up the engines and within minutes had the boat undocked and was headed out to sea. I quickly ran up to the men on the dock and told them I was going on the boat. Thankfully they got the captains attention and he came back for me. It was a close call. I took this picture of the boat from the dock as they were trying to get turned around to come back for me.


On our boat trip we got to meet a very nice guy named jas. He was born in India and as a young boy his family had moved to Canada where he grew up. He had been visiting a friend in Belize but also wanted to visit Honduras a few days. Since he didn't know anybody in Honduras we helped him out. We gave him a few pointers, took him with us to San Pedro Sula where we had supper together and dropped him off at a nice hotel. He was very appreciative of our help. We really enjoyed getting to know him. We exchanged emails and phone numbers. Hopefully we will keep in touch.

I love the view looking down the the dock and out to sea. Looks like a tropical paradise. I'm coming down to visit. :)

Wow, that was quite a trip - thank the Lord for His protection and the way He's blessing your missionary endeavors. Joseph's a cutie!
