Where is Salemburg Baptist Church?

 

On June 29th Mike and I get up doing our daily routine.  We had our quiet time, coffee and later our breakfast.  Martha comes in around eight o'clock to start her daily routine, coffee and rosquillas and preparing the sandwiches for the arrival of Salemburg Baptist Church.  Mike goes and checks the flight of the team to see how they are coming along.  They landed in their first destination in the Unites States.  The team was eagerly awaiting to board their plane to Honduras.  The flight got an announcement of some malfunction with the airplane.  So they patiently for further instructions.  As the morning progressed the time of boarding was further and further out.  At one point Mike called team leader to check on them to see what was happening to their departure time.  So both Mike and team leader, John, shared what they knew hung up saying hope to see you soon.  Martha finished her bagged lunches for the team.  Mike and I got other things done while waiting to hear what to do.  Mike called Jose and shared with him not to go to airport yet.  Time continues to pass Mike checking the airline flight status, two hours and 30 minutes delayed flight.  At this time Mike and I were wondering when they were going to cancel the flight. Mike continued to call Jose with updates.  Finally Mike texts the team leader to see how many pieces of luggage they were bringing.  He text back with the number NINE.  Mike and I thought that strange because they do three days of extensive VBS and team leader's wife, Carol, does a bible study for the women of the village.  But we got excited and called Jose back and said do not come to the airport.  We will only take the bus with very little luggage, we will make it work.  Finally around three o'clock our time they were boarding to leave and they got delayed again.  The airplane finally took off around three thirty and arrived in Tegus airport at 6:00 PM.  Mike and I arrived at airport at three thirty our time to beat the five o'clock traffic.  We sat upstairs waiting for the team to land.  We went downstairs found seats and waited tirelessly and patiently for that plane to land.  We joked about the airline leaving some luggage behind after nine hours of a delayed flight.  The airlines changed planes three times and yes they left one of the team members luggage in the United States.  Mike and I did not laugh about that but were grateful to see eleven North Americans we knew to come through immigrations safe and sound.  Team leader, John came out first and we ask was that all the luggage.  John shared no we have NINETEEN.  Mike and I looked at each other and said, "Oh boy."  But with God's provision we got nineteen pieces of luggage and thirteen of us on that bus and off we went to our home in Tegus.  We did not go to Choluteca this evening because of driving through the mountains during the night hours.  We arrived safely with beans and rice waiting a very tired and hungry team.  The team leader, John praised each of them for their flexibility throughout the entire day of waiting and waiting and waiting some more.  Praise the Lord they made it safely. 

The next morning the team woke up with a bowl of cereal and was on the road to Choluteca by seven o'clock.  Mike and Jose got us down there by 10:30.  The team ate lunch before heading out to their job location.  Everyone was grateful to be in Choluteca Honduras.  God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
