We have finally finished 8 weeks of language school in Copan, Honduras! Even though we have completed formal classes, we know that we are not done learning. We will continue to add to our vocabulary and keep practicing forever.
As I reflect on our time in Copan, we realize of the amazing people God has put in our lives…our teachers (Marixa & Ana), our new friends (Darrell and The Dollar Family), new friends who are missionaries in Copan at Urban Promise Honduras/English Church friends (Rachel, Katie, Kourtney, Lauren, Blaire), and the rest of the Hondurans who came in our paths including our host family. As we are very excited to be heading to Tegucigalpa, we are sad to be leaving behind some really great friends who have given us some great Christian fellowship.
I feel these 8 weeks in Copan have given me a great starting foundation for living in Honduras. I have learned so much since our arrival in mid-July in not only Honduran culture but everyday living, too. We are excitedly anticipating our arrival to Tegucigalpa on Monday evening and can’t wait to get settled in and start serving at AFE. In just 2 weeks we will start duties as as substitute teachers for another couple serving at AFE.
We have a few prayer requests for the next few weeks as we transition from Copan to Tegucigalpa.
Safe travels on Monday.
Safety as we purchase household groceries in the city.
Acceptance by our fellow teachers and our new students.
Fluency and confidence in speaking.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
