Spring Break

I was given the opportunity to spend my Spring Break in Honduras with a Mission Team from School. We spent the week working at a camp for youth from 5 different villages, going to this school, and visiting an Orphanage. First off if you don't know me. . . I absolutly Love kids!! Thats what I want to do when I graduate college, is work in an Orphanage. ok back to the trip. . . The camp lasted 3 days, and we did bible studies, played games, sang fun songs, and had a wonderful worship service each night, You could really feel God's presence there! At the end of the camp 3 young men surrendered their all and gave their lives to Christ. After the campers left we went to a local pool and witnessed 6 people make a public profession in their faith, and saw them get baptised. The next day we went back to the first place we stayed and got cleaned up and traveled to the school, and the Orphanage. From the school you could notice these little blobs forming on the fence across the field from the school. It was the kids. We got on the bus and went down this small road and very small bridge until we reached this bobwired fence. We pulled the bus in and got off. Right when you stepped foot on the ground you had little kids all over you. This one little girl hooked onto me right away, alot of the kids did not speek English, which was a struggle for me saying I know hardly any Spanish. So i just let her take me where she wanted to. Which I did not mind at all. SO for the hour we had, these kids were ours to love and be everything for them. We eventually ended up inside this little living room of one of the houses with about 75 kids sitting around this small tv watching a movie. This little girl was sitting on the bench outside of the house who was no older than 3 and she was crying. I went over and picked her up and just loved on her. I didn't want to leave her. She stopped crying, and eventually fell asleep on me during the movie. Seeing her lay there helpless made me wonder, why did she have to go through what she did. . . See the thing about this Orphanage is all the Kids were removed from their families by the government for sexual and physical abuse. . . . The horn blew and this was our que that it was time to leave. The time seemed to fly by, and i was not ready to leave. We gave the kids hugs and told them by, it almost brought tears to my eyes seeing them cry as our bus drove away. . . We went back to the place we where we was staying and had dinner and hung out. The last day we got to shop in the Valley of the Angels. It was really fun, and I got a lot of home made things. Then we went to this giant Jesus Statue that over looked the capital. . . You could see the scars on Jesus' hands and feet, and this made me stop and think that My Savior died for me, to give me life, and I need to surrender my all to him, and that even though I can not stay in Honduras. He holds the world in his hands. . . I am really blessed to have gotten to go on the trip and be a shining light in peoples dark world for a week, and just show them love, and how it feels. . . . Well I'm off to finish writing a paper.
