Pictures!

So here are the pictures that it has taken me forever to post! This is a small glimpse into what I have been doing the past three and a half weeks!















This is the dining hall and school at the Providence campus up in the hills of Siguatepeque, where I will be interning later this summer.
















With friends at the Providence dining hall for a community party with the children from the school and their families. On the left is Elizabeth Holliday, the sister of my supervisor, who will be here all summer. In the middle is Bethany who was an intern as well but who had to leave last week due to the political situation.
















Lake Yojoa on the way to San Pedro Sula from Siguatepeque.
















A view of the countryside right down the street from my host home.
















A guard dog, perhaps?
















Horses walking down the middle of the street, a common occurance!





















I was able to go to a beautiful waterfall with one of the mission teams before they had to leave and it was incredible! We were able to go down under the waterfall to go swimming and rock jumping!























































After going to the waterfall we went to this amazing restaurant/hotel and while we were waiting for our food we walked around and took pictures.



































It was so beautiful!!































With Elizabeth and Jorge, who works for Providence as well, on a rickety bridge with the breathtaking mountains in the background!
















With Cindy at a church baptism and picnic.
















Karaoke, of course!

Political Unrest

I apologize for not updating my blog in such a long time, however, for those that have not heard, there has been political unrest in Honduras the past few weeks, which has greatly limited my access to the Internet. The current President of Honduras had been forced to leave the country by the military about a week and a half ago because he was attempting to change the constitution to allow him to stay in power longer. However, many countries have put pressure on the Honduran Congress to reinstate the President. Therefore, there have been several protests in the main cities here in Honduras by those who support the President and then by those who do not want him to return. There is also the fear that Honduras is resorting back to their days of military coups instead of maintaining democracy.

However, here in my town of Siguatepeque it has remained peaceful and everything goes on as normal (the blessings of living in a small town!). Unfortuneately, all of the American mission teams that were working with my internship for the summer had to leave and they are unsure whether any more will be able to come. So right now we are just waiting to see what will happen if or when the President returns. Therefore, your prayers for continued peace and order are greatly needed for this country as they are dealing with the threat of unrest.
