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.
