Work Work Work

Back in Teguc and back to the grind. I am working on designs for two different systems in Haiti. I'm watching flight prices for a couple trips, one to the States in July and one to Columbia in late Summer. There are also several other potential missions on the calender (recently updated) and even some not yet listed. In addition to that, we are working an earth day event hosted by the US Embassy on Friday, our church has a family day tomorrow, and I've been asked to be a judge at the TCA science fair next Friday. Still on the to-do list is finishing my 2013 taxes (yes I applied for an extension), post photos for several missions (last years missions and Panama), and renew my NABCEP certification (it expires next month). At least I don't think I am traveling anywhere in May, neither with-in Honduras or beyond, so hopefully I can get Caught Up. :D

On the up-side, Craig did post some photos from the workshop this past weekend. I have included a few pics below, but you can also go here to see the full album.

Back At The Airport

Having breakfast at the Miami international airport. Training this weekend went great. We had a good turnout and the students seemed well engaged. There were lots of good questions throughout and much interest in the upcoming Spanish River missions to both Haiti and Columbia. I also had some great fellowship with the wonderful people at Spanish River. I look forward to going back in future years. But for now I'm happy to be going back home to Honduras and my sweet hubby :-D

Interesting Day

4/24/2014

I am now at my host home in Boca Raton, FL after a somewhat eventful day. This morning was a little nerve racking as I wasn't sure I was going to make my flight. I had to get an extension on my visa which means leaving my passport with the immigration office. Last week was Semana Santa (Holy Week) so most of the country was off work. The earliest I could take my passport to the immigration office was this Monday. So I took it in and told the lady that I had a flight booked for today and she assured me my passport would be ready to pickup at 9 am this morning. But of course when we went in to get it they did not have it ready. At first the lady could not find it. Then they found it in a stack awaiting the directors signature but were reluctant to take it to the director. So we basically stood there and harassed them until they got annoyed with us enough to go to the directors office. At this point it was already 10:20 and I had to be at the airport by 10:40. I sent out a prayer request and 5 minutes later the lady came back with my completed passport. I was able to get to the airport and through security before my flight started boarding. Praise God !!

Then during the flight my neighbor told me the man and woman sitting in front of us was the President and First Lady of Honduras. Apparently their staff was sitting in first class but they wanted to stay in the economy section. My neighbors spoke to them some and then introduced me. They even let us take photos with them on the plane. So I went from having to harass clerks at the immigration office to shaking hands with the President. Talk about an interesting day :-D

Packed For Another Flight

So I have another flight tomorrow. I am joining Allen in Florida for few days. We are teaching a solar workshop at Spanish River Church in Boca Raton. There is a link for the event here. Craig Kindell, the missions director at Spanish River, has joined us on several missions and has even lead a solar mission himself. Craig made the arrangements for this workshop with equipment purchased for a mission to Haiti and another to Columbia. Some of the attendants will be the missionaries who will be installing these systems after they are shipped. We did a similar workshop there last year with another team going to Haiti and had a great turnout. So we have high expectations for this one. Also, I'll be able to get a few State-side goodies to bring back with me, which is actually perfect timing because we just ran out of Chipotle Tabasco :D
