Hey everyone! It's been a while since we've posted, and we want to let you all know that we arrievd safely in La Ceiba and are alive and kicking! The cats are fine (though apparently they need even more documentation that they are healty and not going to spread some weird cat disease to all the cats in Honduras...) and we even (finally) have all our baggage!
Our apartment is very cute (read: small), but we're really happy with it. We even have a stove (with one funtioning burner), a fridge, and a MICROWAVE! Also a washer/dryer available to all tenants and a bathtub! And don't worry mom, we have bars on our windows and a guard at night, so we're really quite safe! It may seem like we don't have much, but we have everything we need and more, we're very blessed, especially by Honduran standards!
Our teacher orientation has already started, and though we're excited to begin working, we were hoping for a little more time to adjust. A school year is a little like a roller coaster, one it starts rolling, you can't get off til the end so buckle up and hang on!
We love you all and will try to post again very soon with some pictures!!!

It was good to know that you two are safe and all is well. Our roller coaster (school) is about to leave the gate as well. With my love and prayers, Carrollyn
Dear Roebie,
Read your blog, and all the comments. I'm glad to hear from you, and you sound happy, which makes me feel better.
Though I miss you terribly, I think of you constantly, and I hope you and Dave are very happy. and that Honduras is everything you hoped it would be.
You guys are awesome!
- Love

P.S.: You spelled "healthy" wrong, you forgot the "h", but... I still love you!
Dear Becky,
Your mom is with me, and my surgery went well. I love you more than your mom does.

Hello You guys!! Just got back from Michigan about Aug. 2 It was excellent to see you!! I don't know if you got my message, but you may have already left. Hope your school year is off to a good start!! Love to you both and we will keep you in our prayers!
I am so happy to hear that you are both alive and well. Don't worry about the cats, they will survive as well as you two! Good luck with your year of teaching. Things will go well because you are obviously right where God wants you at this time in your life. My roller coaster ride is about to begin at STHS. I will be teaching reading so I will be loving it! God bless you both.
It's good to hear that the excitement hasn't worn off. We are glad for you both and will check in here to see how you are as it seems to be a reliable way for getting communications out. Keep happy hearts and we will continue praying for you both. Give kitties a pet or two for us also. Love you both, Daddy
Hi Becky,
It is so good to hear from you. I tried phoning you over the summer but could never reach you. Now, I know why :). May God bless you. I love your roller-coaster simile. It is so true too.
I pray for all your requests and also that you will be blessed and fullfilled. I know you will make so many differencss in your students' lives. You will always be very special to me. I think of you often, and I save something you wrote.
Love and prayers,
Barbara

Hi Dave and Becky,
I just want you to know that I love you and my prayers are with you as you do God's work. We miss you at church here in St. Cloud. Send me your email address and your mailing address. Maybe I can visit you sometime next year.
May God multiply your blessings!
Love and Prayers,
Brenda D.
