3:00 am came way to early this morning! The bus ride to San Pedro Sula was an hour and half adventure, we don't want to repeat any time soon. The driving and roads in Honduras are not comparable to the US. We got to the airport at 5:20 and got our tickets and made it through security in plenty of time to use the rest of our lempiras for some breakfast. The trip to Miami was uneventful - it was fun to fly over Cuba and the Florida Keys. It is always fun to fly and see the earth from a different vantage point - between the oceans, the clouds, the animals, the mountains...we saw nature as a testament of God's creation. When we landed in Miami and got through customs and passport control, we realized that we had been bumped from our original flight out of Chicago (at 5:40) and put on the flight to Des Moines at 7:00. We were all a little bummed because we were hopping to be home at 7:00. But God is faithful! With the thunderstorms in Chicago they were backed up and we were put in to a holding pattern over Chicago for 30 minutes - we didn't get off the plane until 5:50. So we had plenty of time to get some supper and compare pictures of the week. It was a great feeling to walk down the steps in the Des Moines Airport and see our families waiting for us! We had a great time serving in Honduras but hugs from our families were a great homecoming!
