Siguatepeque trip

Wednesday we left San Pedro to go for a short trip to Siguatepeque. During our time there, I got to stay with another missionary couple. It has been interesting to meet several other missionaries here in Honduras and learn how God has been using them and different lessons they have learned through life. I think one of the many blessings I've had here is getting to listen to so many first-hand accounts and insights from different people about different life-lessons, ministry, living in a different country, and much more. On Thursday, I got to go to the Open Market and learn about buying produce and the skill of trying to get things for lower prices. 
 This is Siguatepeque. It's up in the mountains and a lot cooler than San Pedro Sula. Wednesday evening in the rain it got down to 66 degrees. COLD! For the first time during my internship, I put on a sweater. A lot different than the 100-115 degrees in San Pedro...
 Friday we went to La Esperanza, a town higher in the mountains. We visited Baptist missionaries up there and had a wonderful time talking with them. We also got to ride their horses a little bit. My first time ever!
 This is their church up in La Esperanza. Beautiful place and wonderful missionary couple.
 A Catholic shrine at the top of La Esperanza. They have all this outward beauty but lack the true beauty of a place where the Gospel is preached.
