The Wheels on the Bus...

I'm leaving for Costa Rica in about three hours. Well, more accurately, I'm leaving for Tegucigalpa in about three hours. I'm taking a taxi over to the Los Contreras terminal here. I've been told Los Contreras is a better bus than Trans Catrachos --- it goes to Teguc without stopping every time someone flags down the bus. And it only cost 5Lps (25 cents) more.

Once in Teguc, I'll grab some lunch or a snack and then take a taxi over to the missionaries that I met on Saturday night. They live in Teguc, but come to Comayagua every other weekend. They were here at Enlaces Saturday, with some questions about the whole visa renewal/leave-the-country dilemma. Not that I'm an expert, by any means, but I sure do have lots of info to share about that one.

So, through all of that, they invited me to stay with them tonight instead of getting a hotel room! ¡Qué maciso! y ¡Gloria a Dios! Plus, I really like them; they're both 19 and have such a heart for this country. In fact, Jenny is coming back in January ~~ on a one-way ticket!

My King Quality bus leaves at 6:00am tomorrow and I have to be at the terminal at 5:30am. Ouch! But I'll be armed with a book or two, my iPod, and a jacket for the 16-hour trip to San Jose. From experience, I know that these busses only use one control for the A/C: frigid!

Several people at church have commented that my Spanish is getting better. I'll have to take their word for it because I can't really tell right now. But I am understanding more.

Next Sunday will be our first morning service at church. For years, the service has been at 4:00pm, but Carlos feels that we're supposed to change it to the morning, and then still have a short celebration/evangelistic service in the afternoon when the Center is open. A lot of people are looking forward to the change, and others, as you can imagine with any type of major change, are a little resistant. But if this is the direction that God is leading, it will produce good fruit!

Well, I'll end here and finish packing. (Note to self: Don't dare forget laptop ~~ or passport!!)
