Busy and off to Honduras

Sorry I haven't written in a long time, this week has been extremely busy. Theo and I have been working all week, trying to apply for a passport for this little girl Juana Lopez. We finally got to Chiquimula on Wed to apply and pay for the passport and are getting the passport today before we leave tomorrow morning for a 10 hour trek to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Time has not been on our side for this adventure...we were hoping to be able to get her there today, but that didn't work out. It is extremely difficult to coordinate things when the family lives 1.5hrs away down some dirt road (we don't know exactly where) and they have no means of contacting them...no phone, no nothing. Therefore, we have to arrange the next meeting with them a day or two in advance without knowing if we will have the required information by that time, and we don't want to make them find a ride into Esquipulas everyday just in the hopes that we'll be able to move forward with the process. Needless to say it was a stressful week, BUT it's all going to happen and work out and that is VERY exciting.

I'd like to write more but don't have time. I'll be sure to write when we get back next week sometime.
