We were excited to welcome back our friends from Campbell University. This year they brought down students from their medical school, PAs and DOs, their Physical Therapy School and their Pharmacy School. They arrived after an early morning flying into Tegus and a long ride down to Mt. Horeb. Our return friends were so excited to be back home again to a week of serving our Lord and getting away from their hustle and bustle of life. They enjoyed immediately a game of Corn Hole and sitting on the front porch of the multi purpose building. Our new friends with fresh new eyes looking out over the ministry where in awe of the beauty of the country. Team member Jared shared he had a roommate who was from Honduras and he had talked about his country so much. Jared said he wanted to come and see for his self what Honduras was about. He shared how beautiful the country side was riding down and the surroundings of the ministry campus even as brown as it is now God's beauty still radiates all around. The majesty of our God and His Creation is evident on Mt. Horeb. Daniel, a team member was taken over to one of the unique trees on the campus by Mike. Mike shared with Daniel how the blooms come out in the morning and the bees come to get the nectar and the blooms fall off throughout the day and new blooms come out the next morning. This is just one of God's beautiful gifts on Mt. Horeb. One of the students shared how huge the humming birds were here and how beautiful the parakeets are. These young people were able to get away and connect with their Heavenly Father's Creation.
They also were able to discuss what might be in store for them this week. There was at least 15 or more new team members who some had never been out of the country. We enjoy new and fresh eyes looking at Honduras and its grandeur. Honduras has a way of letting you see what true joy, contentment, peace and compassion truly is in the lives of its people. This week these young people's lives hopefully will be forever changed.
