10 Days To Go

As we woke up this morning we realized that this is our last full week in Honduras. In 10 short days we’ll be boarding a flight to the US and closing this chapter in our lives. After two long years, it is a very surreal feeling to know that very soon La Ceiba will no longer be our home.

We’ve been trying to soak up our last days with friends and enjoying some of our favorite spots in town. This past week we’ve hosted some Armenia girls for games and cook baking, taking some boys to the river, gone to the beach with some friends, went to a last soccer game with the boys, and eaten at some of our favorite restaurants. This week we will have some last meals with friends, as well as goodbye parties at our church and in Armenia.
