Well-Being For All

La Buena Fe, Honduras January 5th

Dear Friends:

My name is Erin and I am writing to you from our Discovery Expedition to Honduras.

Upon arriving at La Buena Fe, Honduras we were shown to the building in which we’d be staying. It was originally a medical clinic and has 4 separate rooms with a couple of beds in each one. As we settled into our rooms and divvied up the best beds, the sound of the birds in the trees greeted us, as if saying “Welcome back to this place called home.”

After settling in, our first task was to be fed. Stepping outside, we realized that twilight had vanished from the skies. As we walked along the stone path, overgrown by the lush grass, we were reminded of the cornerstone that connects us, because in the background, slow and steady, came a familiar hymn being sung in Spanish, “How Great Thou Art” enveloping us and blessing our journey. The only thing lighting our way was the dim glow of the fireflies nestled into the blades of grass.

We were led to a small white house, quaint and welcoming with the porch light on and dogs to greet us at the steps with their tails wagging feverishly. The aroma of what lie ahead wafted through the doorway. A wondrous spread of scrambled eggs and mashed beans with sour cream and fresh, home made tortillas had been prepared for our feast. Fresh fruits were also available and fried plantains were tasted by many for the first time.

We passed the time after our meal by telling stories and sharing in laughter around the table. Many of us gathered together to play cards before heading off to bed. It had been a long day for all of us, having to wake early in the wee hours of the morning to catch our flights.
