A funny thing happened on the way to Honduras...no wait, A rabbi, a priest and a gorilla were all in a plane...no, that's no good either. Hmmm. How about this. Did you hear about the 6 people who flew all the way to Honduras just for a good cup of coffee and NO Starbucks in sight? Well then, meet the Lakeside Impact Honduras Team, the coffee connoisseurs with HUGE hearts to serve our Lord!
The team is excited and most got very little sleep last night. The team consists of Dave Bagenski, Rodain Soto, Cliff and Peggy Stapp and Amber Shoop. So far, I am the only one here at SFO (San Francisco International Airport) because I got here about 6 hours early! No, I am not crazy, well, maybe I am crazy, but that is not why I got here 6 hours ahead of my departure. Because I had to be in San Francisco to get my passport renewed (the same day I am leaving the country!) at 10:00AM, and I wanted to spend some time with my family - my wife Lauren, and my two boys Jacob and Brenden. So we left Cameron Park at 7:00AM. Needless to say, by 4:00PM, they were wiped out after all the driving and waiting and walking we did. The rest of the team will start arriving around 8:00PM.
We will keep this blog updated, assuming we have Internet access where we are staying. Otherwise, this blog will be quite boring! We are going to be working hard at La Providencia, which is a revolutionary new concept in how orphans are raised and cared for. We hope to spend some time with the new families and kids who have moved in to the first home, and we hope to get to spend some time with the staff. I pray that some long term relationships are built on this trip, and that the team has a passion to return next year!
Please pray for our safety, strength to accomplish what the Lord has in store for us, and that we keep a servants heart so that all honor and glory be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Hasta la vista mi amigos!
