It’s getting close to time to head out to Central America and the Central American Travelers (also known as CATs) gathered at First Presbyterian in Union to pack the huge black crates that will be our only checked luggage to Honduras
in them we are packing medicines for 1000 people many of them children. We also packed the hygiene kits that churches so generously donated to, as well as toys and fun things for kids.
Then we had to carefully balance and weigh all 16 to make sure we could take them with us. It was also exciting to receive the brightly coloured Honduran money, called Lempira that we had ordered in preparation for the trip. Somehow that just makes it seem so much closer.
We made time to gather with former travelers and well wishers from all over the Presbytery for a communion service in the sanctuary. Then everyone was invited to stay for a potluck supper! A
Then we began hauling the crates to begin their journey to Honduras.
We have been told that we will be living and working in a remote village called San Framcisco in the departement de Valle in the southern part of the country.SF is close to Langue if you are looking at a map.
