This last Sunday morning, Lis Bravard set off on a 6 month missions trip to Honduras. While her leaving has been difficult for myself, her friends, and all of those who know her, I know that her family is missing her incredilby right now. I can tell you though, that she is following God's calling for her life and that is something that everyone can be proud of. I had the opportunity to go with her on her first trip down to Honduras this summer. From the moment she arrived in San Pedro Sula, it was like she was meant to be there. Every child she met, ever person she came in contact with lit up because they saw something in her that you don't very often see, genuine unconditional love. Many people that week got to know Lis but little did any of us know the path her life would take to lead her back. Below, I have posted Lis' first blog upon arriving down in Honduras. I think this will give you a little better insight into the many lives she touched last summer and how much she has in store over the next 6 months. If you would like to follow her journey, you can keep updated on her blog website at http://lisbravard.blogspot.com/
Hey Guys!
So I'm finally
back in Honduras after a much anticipated trip. It seems like a never
left, I love it!! So lets start with the beginning of this adventure.
Well we went to the airport and were checking our bags when the clerk
today us you could only have 2 checked bags each, well we had 7
totally. My and I were like oh my gosh, they told us we could have up
to 8! So the clerks started checking and they told us we could take
them. We had known we would have to pay about $400 for all of the extra
luggage, but they didn't charge us! I couldn't believe that! Needless
to say that started everything off amazingly! Next we were a little
worried after we flew into Honduras if we would have one of the drivers
we had last time but we didn't. But it worked out once again amazingly
because Luis is great and we love him.
After he picked us up we
went to the hotel and then to the orphanage. I was a little nervous
wondering if the kids would recognize/remember me or not. So we got out
of the van and started walking up to the orphanage (it was dark out, it
was about 8 o'clock) and all of a sudden I hear LA MUNECA, LA MUNECA!
It was Henry and soon followed by all the other kids. We went inside
the gate and they all swarmed me like bees to honey. Each of them
yelling LA MUNECA and fighting their way to give me a hug and a kiss.
The were all dancing around kind of like ring around the rosie, it was
so cute and I almost started crying.
Then we went back to the
hotel and I hung out in the lobby while mom was using the computer.
While I was sitting there a guy came in and asked if I had been here
last year and I said yes. Then he said he remembered me and I told him
I remembered him from before too. Earlier that day too the clerk Linder
at the hotel said he remembered me as well. And we went to Wendy's too
and they workers there remembered me too lol. So that was Sunday.
Monday
we went to the orphanage and they were going on a picnik so we went
with and it was tons of fun! Then we just hung out at the hotel and
with Luis. So thats it for now, continue reading for more adventures of
la muneca. I will try to post as much as possible.
love xoxo,
Muneca!
Be safe Lis and God Bless...
