You know you're in Honduras when:

    You actually look forward to a cold shower

    Hot showers are a thing in the past

    You share a bathroom with 70 or more people

    Your bathroom consists of 3 toilets and 2 showers so naturally, there are always at least 10 people in there

    It's perfectly fine to see chickens running around

    The rooster crows at 4 am...every morning, which then causes the other rooster to crow

    You find a turtle in your laundry water

    Rice and beans will be your food for every meal

    When you find good french fries for 1 dollar you buy 12 orders for 6 people

    A swing is a piece of wood tied to a piece of rope hanging from a tree.  This provides hours of entertainment 

    Don't worry when people honk their horns as they see 2 white people walking.  They are being friendly and they will stare at you

    Going over to a strangers house for dinner is perfectly acceptable

    It's perfectly fine to explode with excitement when you see spaghetti

    Your tent floods from the mass amounts of rain

    It's normal that your laundry won't dry within 24 hours

    You plan doing laundry around the rain and thunder storms

    Any child that sees you wants to play

    It's perfectly fine to find groups of 7 sitting on the floor worshiping

    Relationships are more important than time, so it's fine to be late 

    Personal space?? what's that again??

    It's totally acceptable to be 45 minutes late

    A fruit truck drives by, and you buy 20 bananas for people (equivalent to 1 USD.  Best. Buy. Ever.)

    Sleeping by the highway, its common to wake up to traffic at all hours

    Some cars sound like helicopters 

    People walk half an hour just to receive healing

    It's perfectly fine for a person to kiss you on the cheek

This past week in Honduras has been amazing!  We have been continuing to fit into this new culture as best as we can, and had to laugh at some of the things we have had to face as we begin to blend in, let go of all of our comforts at home, and find our new "comforts" here.  Please continue to pray for us as we begin this new week, start our ministry, and continue to make Honduras our new living place.
