Furlough

It has been an absolute whirlwind. I cannot believe it's time to head back to Honduras--we just got to SC, it seems, yesterday! We have had so many doctors' appointments, a surgery for Anna, dental appointments, time with friends, family, and supporters. I was able to buy many things that would be needed for our house in Guaimaca during several trips to Lowe's in the days right before Christmas from insulation and doorknobs all the way to kitchen cabinets!

Just yesterday, I went to Columbia in order to get some necessary papers for our Honduran residency application. Then, I went to the Secretary of State's office and had them apostilled. (As an aside, visitors are able to enter Honduras as tourists for a stay of up to three months, but after that, they must leave the country for three days and then may reenter legally for another three months. If we are granted residency status, we will not have to leave the country every 90 days, but will technically be considered "permanent residents.")

Anyway, I digress. I can't believe our furlough has come and gone, but we are so excited about getting back and jumping into our ministry in Guaimaca!
