BACK AGAIN!!

I am back!! got stomach viruses for a while and now am just fine, thank God.
This weekend is "election day" on the 29th to be precise, some are enthusiastic, others are not; but hopefully this political turmoil will be over soon and may 2010 be a better year for Honduras. As it is common, it is the working people who suffer with social unrest, unemployment, etc. I write over and over: poverty is so much more visible, the needs are right there in front of you wherever one goes.
Right now it is raining very hard, a cold front has been announced, so the temp. will go down, which will make it really nice. The TV news are showing right now, some hand made bombs which were placed on a public bus, thank God nobody was hurt; there are soldiers all over, that doesn't make our country look too good and as I mentioned, hopefully this political situation will soon be over.
I will contact Rina Simon who helps at the senior homeless shelter as I want to volunteer to help her make that place a more comfortable and larger home for the needy old people.
So, in general, La Ceiba is quiet, not being a political center, makes it a more laid back place to live and for that I am grateful, and praise the Lord. To my Real Life Group in Round Rock, Tx. please keep me in your prayers, as I need them more than ever. Will continue

Finally the storm has past

Today is Friday, Nov.13th and it has been raining for the last two days, non-stop rain. The sun is out and things should be warming up pretty soon.
The political situation is still "in process" of becoming better as both conflicting parties are as stubborn as a mule, and I say that, because we the People want to get back to work, those who have small children, need to work to feed their families and those who have lost their jobs due to the political unrest are not only anxious, they are desperate and others even angry.
I wish our politicians would think in terms of those they represent and not their own personal benefit. Elections will not bring the peace we all think about, there are just too many who feel left out and unrepresented by the present congressmen/women, as well as those who are up for election, and that includes the presidential candidates.
I´ve had many people come to me for counseling after the companies for which they worked, just closed and left them without any compensation---- the working class can´t find a way out or someone to listen to their problems...... and that is not good. To my Real Life Group in Texas, keep me in your prayers, as the material needs are much and the spiritual part is even greater. will continue later.

Arrival to San Pedro Sula

Upon landing and going through customs in Honduras, it was conflicting. I was happy to be in my much loved country, yet so much desolation could be perceived. Many people were around the airline counters wanting to "help" carry your luggage, and in their own words "no tourist, no jobs, no money". At the waiting area to fly to La Ceiba, I was the only person waiting there, stayed almost by myself around three and a half hours, the airline was waiting for american airlines with the hope more passengers would come, finally we left and I arrived at 4:PM at Golozon, that´s the La Ceiba airport.
Poverty is more visible than ever and the political situation is not getting any better. I pray the good Lord will have mercy and compassion for my poor poor country. will write later.
