I just wanted to say a BIG "Thank You" for allowing me the honor to serve our Honduran brethren with each of you. Our group was a reflection of God's love for us. I appreciate the fun we shared, the support we gave each other, the serving we were able to do, and the deep spiritual maturity of our team. The chemistry of our team was beyond my expectations. Personally, I also want to thank you for your prayers and kind words of support for me… -- Kathy

Hey, I just wanted to email you all to tell you what a blessed time I had working with all of you. Thank you so much. Your ministry has taught me a lot, and I've become more bold in the great commission that God has placed upon my heart! ...It was my first time out of the country, and I'm so grateful that God gave me the finances and the prayer support to get through it all. :) --Steve

I am glad to be back and get some much needed rest...but I miss everyone and most of all those we left behind in Honduras...u know how much they have impacted my life and it is an honor and privilege to be able to go these past two years and  help....and I know there will many more years to come... --Meghann

It was a good time packed with service and fellowship. I thought it was great. I will never forget the experience. I will pray for the people of the church with first hand knowledge now. -- Tim

We just really wanted to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy lives to come down to Honduras to give of yourselves. We really enjoyed the fellowship with all of you, which is one thing we have really missed over the past nine months. -- Justin & Elizabeth

I can truly say that this trip turned out different for me than the years past. I was very relaxed and focused this trip on the Hondurans and just watched the team in the periphery.  They did well this year and I enjoyed being the "observer," I learned a great deal just watching others. --Robert

We spent so much time together on our trip that I miss you all. It is nice to be home and back with my family, but I do also miss the people we met and worked with in San Pedro.  What a blessing our trip was on so many levels, one is the friendships I made with all of you.  I pray that you all are doing well. -- Sherrie

On our last day at the site, we all stood together - members of Restoration Church and our American team - in the church, which consists of a large blue and white tent, and a cement slab. Our team was told how very much we were appreciated, and we in turn expressed gratitude for the love extended to us. There were lots of hugs and tears and new friendships made. It was a bittersweet goodbye when our work came to an end. I've given myself some time to think about this experience. I believe God has shown me more about myself, both positive and negative aspects, than about anything else. I've pondered things like: how I handled new situations, how I adapted to difficult conditions, how I interacted with people I'd just met, how I made various decisions, and most importantly, how I trusted in Him.  There were times when I needed the presence of my Father. He was there for me and He comforted me. I will "go" again when God calls me. -- Karen

Hi! I've enjoyed hearing from all of you so much that I'm going to add a message of my own! Thanks for all your messages! It's been fun to hear about your post-Honduras lives, and comforting to know I wasn't the only one who experienced the blues of readjustment.  Like the rest of you, I had a wonderful time. My family was looking over my pictures, and commented on how happy everybody looked all the time, even though sweat was dripping down our faces! I think God really blessed us on the trip, both in our experiences and in being with each other. I have been remembering these good times as I have been going through some very difficult times at work since being back. It's clear the devil wasn't too happy I went to Honduras, and has been doing a lot to make things miserable for me. But so far I am overcoming - praise God. -- Anne
