Ahh the joys of travel; the wonders of aeroplanes; and the excitement in the unknown...
At around 6:45am tomorrow, I, along with a group of others will be embarking away from the cold landscape of Norway and will be spending the next 6 (or so) weeks in Honduras, where it is summertime and the livin' is easy...well probably not that easy, but that is half the fun of it.
I greatly look forward to the warm air which will bring back to my mind fond memories of Belize and Dominican Rebuplic where I have had the opportunity to go on other mission trips in the past. I look forward to entering into experiencing how others live - in what I am expecting to be alot more laid-back than things tend to be in 1st world countries...I look forward to being useful to others and having the opportunity to help those who are in need, and to begin to understand more of what I need to be doing and how I need to be living.
Life is always such a quandry - filled with many hopes, dreams, and desires, but so often they end up being taken from our arms and we see them smash to little pieces before our very eyes, and although this is quite painful to see, when all is said and done, they were most likely smashed for a reason. Perhaps because they were not the dreams we should have had, or maybe because we were putting them up on a higher plateau than what should be on that high plateau. Whatever the reason may be it was for a purpose and although it is a hard lesson to learn, it is a necessary one.
Now that, my friends, was rather off topic and I apologize, but alas the hour is late and my mind tends to wander.
Moving right along.
I will most likely have very little, if any, connection to the internet in my absence, and so as a result I will be cut off from those back home on a communication level until probably a later date. The chance does exist though, and I may be able to be connected every 2 weeks or something to that effect, and if that is the case, this blog will be the first place I will come to post a little on the activities of my time there, and so I encourage you to check this from time to time if you are at all interested in the happenings in Honduras.
I trust that all will go well, but still ask for your prayers.
And now my mind has reached the point when it shuts down, so with this being said I wish you all a good-night, and a good 6 weeks!
