I'm here!!

Well, nothing calms your nerves like being able to laugh at yourself and lets just say that I really get to do that alot today. And my spanish obviously needs some drastic improvement. Let me tell the full story, knowing that there is much more to come. I showed up a little late to the airport, but got checked in at about 1:20, the lady said I needed to be at the gate by 1:45, so I was waiting in line to put my bags through the x-ray machine which ran up to about 1:40. Then I waited in what I thought was the airport security line for the next 10 minutes and then I realized that it was just another bag x-ray line. So I rushed upstairs, to the airport security line, got through in about 15 minutes, it was not 2:05 and my flight left at 2:45. I ran to the gate and there was alot of people but no activity on the airline workers part. They didn't even board for another 30 minutes. God was in control the whole time even though it was easy to forget that. I got on the plane and I was kinda confused with the time zone change, and from what I understood on my ticket, I was to be on a one way flight to Tegucigalpa. However, this was not the case. I thought the flight seemed very short, but I was asleep some of the time and when I got up, we were landing already. So I got up like most other people, went through immigration, and started to get my bags, and I realized that this wasn't the Tegucigalpa airport, it was actually the San Pedro Sula aiport, but as soon as I walked in the airport, some guy said something in spanish about Tegucigalpa, so I figured he was wecoming me. So, I ended up missing my first flight to Tegucigalpa, but they were able to book me another one 2 hours later, so that where I am, writing this blog right now. In the San Pedro Sula airport. It makes for a long day but a very interesting story. The other good thing is that my ride, the woman (principal of the school) that was supposed to pick me up. I was able to get her cell phone number just before I left Florida, and I was able to call her and tell her about what happened. All that to say that God still provides, and I'm having a pretty chill time checking my mail on the internet. He provides good stories too, maybe I'll tell my kids about this one day, (or maybe not).

However, I am here now and my apartment is amazing, with a great view on a balcony of the whole city of Teguicigalpa. I was not expecting everything to be so modernized here, it's so crazy. My first night we ate at Pizza Hut, and we ate at Church's chicken today after church. I'll have to blog about my team of teachers and the church service this morning later, with some pictures of course.
