duh... its honduras

hello everyone,
i have made it safeley to honduras and am really enjoying my time here. i am currentyl at an internet cafe in tegucigalpa with val so i will have to make this a short post. i will start the schooling for the boys on monday and i will be involved with helping a sunday school class on sunday another class on saturday. i will be working with the youth of the communtiy so i am very excited. i will have to continue to work on my spanish. hopefully withinn the next few weeks i wil learn some praise songs in spanish and be able to help lead som worship on saturday and sunday mornings. it has been a vert interesting and eye opening experience so far. i feel less safe in honduraas and feel the need to be more cautious than i ever had to be in belize. the schuberts faith is amazing and inspiring to me. they have let go of their life in the states to truely minister in a 3rd world country putting thier lives in danger. it is so cool how they are obedient to christ no matter what. i have come to accept the danger and am content with gods protection. please pray for all of our safety. i have been reading a lot more which has been really good for me. my title of this post has become my new saying. in a lot of situations which may seem troubling or odd for an american i simply say duh.... its honduras. like when water leaks through the ceiling in my room, or when a car is driving on the wrong side of the road about to get in a head on accident duh its honduras. i am truely loving it hear and i am so thankful that god has called me here and that he raised support for me through his church. i know that i was called here and it brings me extreme amount of joy to know that i am following his will in my life. when i begin to think about the people places and activities i miss this joy gets me through the night. how great is our god who communicates his desire for us if we have the patience to listen. well i think i am going to get going now. i apologize for the spelling and grammer errors but i am in a hurry because we have to be in church in 15 minutes. i dont know when the next time i will be able to post will be so if you have questions leave them and i will get back to you. i love you and miss you all. thank you for all the support(prayer, financial, and emotional). go cubs and go bears. peace out from honduras. be good and let god take control.

We will get there....eventually

As many of you may have already heard, one week ago Val Schubert had a lump the size of a golf ball removed from her breast. By the grace of God and God alone, the procedure went well and the tests on the lump revealed that it was not cancerous. Val is still recovering from the procedure but excited to head back down to Honduras. The Schuberts have decided to push back our arrival date from September 15th to September 23rd. Luckily both the Schuberts and I were able to make these changes to our airplane tickets without being charged. So we will get to Honduras eight days after we originally planned but we will get there. Please continue to pray for Val and the Schuberts as Val continues to recover and remember us all in prayer during our times of travel. Unless anything changes in the next week and a half the next time I post on this site I will be posting from Honduras.

2 Corinthians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us un all our trouble, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the confort we ourselves have recieved from God.

Amen and Praise God

God is good!

First of all I would like to thank all of you who have been praying for my family during this time, especially my father. I shared with many of you how I longed for my father's approval for my trip to Honduras, even though I knew it was what God wanted me to do for the year. Well God has faithfully answered prayers yesterday when my father said he did not think that me going to Honduras was the wrong thing to do. He then quoted his sister who had recently said that satan attacked my family very hard during and after my parents divorce and that he may have done that to prevent me from doing what God wants me to do with my life. My eyes teared up when my father said this because i knew that God was working in him and he was questioning and kicking a lot of things around in his head concerning his own faith. Please continue to pray that God would work in his heart throughout this next year. Hopefully one day his faith in Jesus will be restored. Once again thank you all for your prayers and God bless.
