Well here I sit, at 7:45 at night, thinking it's about time for me to go to bed. Why? Because I need to get up tomorrow morning at 4.
Tomorrow I am going on my biggest adventure yet. I will be climbing/hiking up a mountain for 2 1/2 hours, helping build a house for a pastor that lives up there, and then climbing/hiking down that mountain all before sun down. Yep, it should be an interesting day. Originally, I was supposed to stay the night in the mountain in the villiage, but plans have changed and I will be making the trek up and down in one day. I have been told it will be one of the hardest things I will ever do. Awesome. And I mean that. I had the choice to go on this trip and I decided it was an opportunity I didn't want to pass up. I'm going to be meeting and visiting with people that only get visitors if they climb up a mountain. How crazy is that? These are unique people who have created a life on the side of a mountain. Not only that, but they have also planted a church on this mountain. How cool is it to think that while we are in the states worshiping in our big churches, there are maybe around 10-15 people on the side of a mountain in Honduras worshiping as well. God is awesome.
I would really like your prayer tomorrow if you think of it. I know I won't die or anything, but it will be pretty difficult to keep a good attitude about an hour and a half into the hike. There will be almost 20 of us making the trip. I would ask for safety for all of us.
Thank you for faithfully following my blog and commenting and emailing. It brightens my day to know I have so many people who love me back home. God bless you all.
You'll read this when you get back, but I did think of you this morning and prayed for your hike. I can't wait to hear all about it!
