The oft' traveled roads of Honduras

Since pictures are so difficult to upload on our computer while we are in Honduras I haven't shown you any of the beautiful scenery that we are enjoying as we travel.  But I did want you to see where all our journey has taken us.

Follow the blue wider line on the map below and you will see out first journey.  We left Copan Ruinas and went to San Pedro Sula then on to La Ceiba on the Caribbean Sea.  From there we traveled further west and then headed down south.  We stopped in El Carbon and then spent three nights in San Esteban.  We traveled south then west to the capital city of Tegucigolpa for a couple of nights before heading north to San Pedro Sula and back west  to Copan Ruinas.  That was the long trip about which you recently read.

One day last week, we traveled with Pastor Nahum on the red line down to town of Gracias.  We left about 7 in the morning and returned about 6 in the evening.

Earlier this week we traveled back to San Pedro Sula to El Progreso and back to La Ceiba.  We left on the 9:30 am ferry on Monday to the island of Roatan and then on over to West End.  Wednesday we took the 7 am return ferry to La Ceiba and returned to Copan Ruinas. That is the purple line on the map.

Now we will leave next Tuesday with Pastor Nahum again and take the orange marked route over to Orica.  It will be a hard 8 hour drive from Copan.  We will stay there overnight and then travel about 3 more hours to meet with another brother to gather the information we need and return to the same place to spend the night.  On the return trip the next day, we will stop in San Pedro Sula to get our car before returning to Copan Ruinas.  Then a couple of days later, we will be return to our home in Guatemala.

As you can see from the map, we have done alot of driving (thanks to my wonderful "chafeur") and alot of bumping along the way.  But along every mile we have seen the glory of the Lord.  As we have traveled some of the roads for the second time (or more) we often say, it sure makes a difference when you know where you're going!  We appreciate your prayers for us; we do not take it lightly that it is indeed God who goes before us, behind us, beside us, beneath us, above us and in us. 


As you contiue to pray for us as we travel, pray for those along the way who still need to hear the message of Salvation in faith alone in Jesus Christ.
