A New Life

Well, as you can see I'm here. This picture gives you a pretty good idea of the craziness I am privileged to enjoy every day. I've been in Honduras for about 3 weeks now and everything is off with a bang. It's all been very exciting, stressful, fun, relaxing, and new. Culture shock? I'm not sure if it's hit me yet or not. Since I'm in the city, it's hasn't been to jolting, but there have been a few minor adjustments. I never really would have envisioned myself teaching, but here I am. I'm learning a lot of things that I know are priceless. Patience, learning to see through a child's eyes, disciplining in a loving way, giving the kids grace like God gives it to me, just to name a few. My mind frequently goes back to the picture of Jesus with the children. They loved being with him and he wouldn't let the disciples hold them back. I want to have that loving compassion for children that Jesus had. Being with these kids every day reminds me that life is meant to be fun, somewhere along the tough road of maturity that idea seems to fade away. But for these kids, it's as bright as ever. I'm happy to be hear and I know it will change my life forever. I hope I'll be more of a kid again.

With all the initial excitement of coming here and keeping up with e-mails and the picture gallery, I haven't been blogging much. I may post more but my primary updates will probably be through e-mail. If you'd like to be added to the list just let me know. E-mail me at jmeharry@gmail.com
