So, I'm here in my room, waiting for it to be 3:30am so I can "wake up" to go to Honduras. There's no way I'm sleeping two hours before. I feel like I have so many things to do. But I can't really do them all because: 1) it's 2:20am, 2) everyone is asleep and 3) I don't want to do anything. My mind is running like crazy. I want to go to Honduras, but at the same time I don't because it means that the people that I love most in my world, (my parents and my sis) are staying behind. I'm going to miss them so much. They're all I really have when it comes down to it all. I do, however, get to spend 2 of the 6 weeks that I'll be in Honduras with my sister. She's coming down the last two weeks to chill and visit and then we'll head down (well, up) to San Antonio, Texas for a family reunion. I'm super excited about Ash coming to Honduras, but I have to wait a whole month for that. Agh! I'll be staying with family and hanging out with people that I've known for a long time, so I'm hoping it'll help the time pass by in such a way that it doesn't hurt to miss my family.
So yeah, why am I going? Oh yeah. I didn't get the internships I applied for at Fox Sports or ESPN, so I had to look elsewhere. Then I remembered that the organization that we work with for the Honduras Water Project Ministry at Biola, Diaconia Nacional, needed a little help with some technology stuff. I asked if they needed someone to "boost up" their media relations with those they work with within the country and outside as well, and they said yes and that they'd love to have me help them out. So, I need to complete 180 hours. And that's why I'm going to Honduras for 6 weeks. Oh, and also because I just can't get enough of that beautiful country.
So yeah, hopefully I'll be able to update this frequently so all of you who are interested in knowing what's going on with me will be able to. Thanks! I'm really excited for what God has planned for this trip and I pray that He uses me to help others not only with my "technological skills," but with sharing the Word as well. Please keep me in your prayers, and my family as well. Thank you and God bless!
