Well July 1, it is here. We are set to leave the house at 6:15 a.m. to head out to El Paso. This last day has been full of emotion mostly masked by packing. I picked up my best friend Geoff and he ran some errands with me. We stopped for a shake one last time and enjoyed the moments. Geoff's girlfriend and my good friend Carli came over as soon as we returned to the house. Others came by to say good bye to me. Then my "little sister" Kat came by and we all hung out and talked in my room as I packed it away into boxes. Well that is all for now. I will try and update this with pics when I can. Here is what we will be up to the next few days!
July 1: Alta Loma - El Paso 877 miles
July 2: El Paso- San Antonio 585 miles
July 3: Spend the day in El Paso (the Alamo etc) then onto Austin

The Adult World
So obviously what I stated in my last post has not come true. However since then I have turned 18 and graduated high school. I have yet to really believe that I am actually done with high school. I also purchased a new car. I really don't think that it will all hit me until I move and start driving to Waco on July 1st. As I am sitting here my mom and I are discussing our road trip. We leave the 1st and drive to El Paso. The morning of the 2nd we wake up and drive to San Antonio for the night. The 3rd we tour around San Antonio and leave for Austin and stay there for the 4th of July and head to Waco the morning of the 5th. We are going to take a day to get to know Waco and then on the 6th is orientation and mom will probably meet with one of the Captains in the Air Force ROTC to meet with them and learn more about the program. We also have a welcome dinner on the 6th at Baylor. The 7th is the start of my college life, after classes I will be driving my mom down to Austin to fly home. I will be updating more as time goes on. In the mean time enjoy some pics from my b-day at the BI, graduation and grad night soon to follow!

Another trip to Honduras?
So I just found out that the trip to Honduras in Nov. is a go for our church, now its just getting my mom to let me go. The problem is getting the funds to go. It works out just right where I would only miss 5 days of school and the Homecoming Dance, but for Honduras it is so worth it. I absolutely love it there! If I could I would go all the time :). Just pray that it might be a possibility for me to go which probably means me getting a job and who knows it'll be hard considering im still only 15 but who knows every thing will work out the way God wants it to!
Hume
Wow Hume Lake was AMAZING it helped me finish realizing a lot of things that I may have never really completely realized. Chris Brown the speaker was AMAZING he really knew how to bring the word in such a good way and so differently! pics on myspace www.myspace.com/specal1

Home from Honduras
So I'm back home! Every thing went smoothly until the flight home but it was only a minor delay in Houston due to a thunderstorm we were delayed almost 3 hours, but no big deal! The trip to Honduras was a HUGE success and we got done what we were set out to accomplish. We left on a flight out of Ontario at 1 am on the 7th to Houston for a few hours and then we flew to
San Pedro Sula in Honduras. We got a quick bite to eat then off up the mountain roads toward Yoro, Yoro, Honduras. We got there and unpacked then at some dinner then off to bed to get ready for the next day of work. When we arrived to the future site of the church in Aguatilla (about a half-n-hour out of Yoro on a dirt road) on Sunday the 8th all that was their was the trench around where the foundation and walls would go. So the first day was spent leveling the ground, making re-bar, unloading brick and sifting dirt. The second day (Monday the 9th) was the start of building the walls so it consist of block lines to get the blocks right where they needed to be and ready to be used, mixing cement by shovels, and laying the brick. We got about half done with the walls on Monday. Tuesday was Finishing up the Walls and also that after noon we put on VBS for the kids. We started on this first day with about 50 kids at VBS (which increased each day)The next day was more blocks and starting to get the
rafters for the roof painted with another day of VBS. Thursday was the last day of VBS and putting in the cement columns and the roof rafters. Fri. we put up all the roofing, we all had lunch at different houses, then played a little soccer game against the local team. Sat. All we had left was to cement the floor and we got done by 11:30! So we had a church service and it started
poring rain on us and it was actually quite amazing. Our good-byes were the hardest I was ok untill this little boy by the name of Moses started screaming and crying and wouldn't let go of me then I started crying...(I'm still trying to figure out a way to bring him back
).This is Moses
The2nd to last day was spent driving to Tela and the last spent on some much needed R&R in
Tela.The trip was a blast and so amazing how to see even more how God works. The kids got so much joy out of so little and it was so nice to see that!
Thank you to all that prayed for us while we were gone and for your donations.

Leaving
In 48 hours I will be getting on the plane here in Ontario to fly to Honduras, well actually to Houston then on to Honduras. I can't believe how quick this has gone by. It seems like just the other day when I went to the first meeting to get info on the trip and now its almost here. WOOT! WOOT! I'm happy, scared, ecstatic, nervous and a bunch of other emotions all mixed into one. I mean I can't wait to experience something totally different and new for me. But at the same time thats 10 days without my family, in an unknown country. It how ever is going to be AMAZING. I just have to remember God says to fear not for he is with me. Just pray all goes well with the church we build, the VBS we do for the kids, our families back at home, health and safe travels with no glitches for us. Also pray that we stay free from any injury (esp. me and my knee this is one thing that is worrying me because of having problems less than a year ago.) If I can I will try and update this at lest once or twice while I am there but won't promise anything.
