Today has finally come. Back to the United States after six straight months in Honduras and ten months total. We all got up, met for breakfast, took the shuttle to the airport, did our airport taxes, went through security, waited for our plane, and boarded. When we arrived in Houston, I was almost tempted to kiss the floor. I was again amazed at the diversity of people in America, the fact that I could drink from a drinking fountain, and flush my toilet paper down the toilet. Tad, Jake and I found our gate, called our families, and got our first meal back in the States of Panda Express for dinner. We left for Chicago soon after, arrived and made our way down to the luggage area to see our families. I just had to keep reminding myself that I was back, for good, not just for a few weeks. My mom and Tad’s parents met us and gave us big hugs, helped us load our luggage and made the three hour ride back to West Michigan. Finally…HOME.
More reflections on my experience in Honduras, re-entry, and being back in the States soon. Thanks to everyone who has prayed for me and followed me on this adventure by reading this.
This blog is just as much for me to remember the things I've done and gone through and I hope that in some way you gain something from it as well. Keep coming back to here about my current life adventures and musings!
Hummmm, I remember going to Detroit to pick up you guys.....
