Escape to the Waterfalls

This last week has been really rough. We’ve been having problems yet again with the government and medical college of Honduras in the continuing struggle to get our doctors licensed here. But I won’t bore you all with the ghastly details. What I prefer to write is about the blessing of God’s beautiful nature. What a wonderful gift to enjoy some of that this weekend. Saturday we all took off for our favorite waterfall and had a wonderful day playing in the water, cliff jumping, hiking to the top of the falls, swimming in pools higher up, getting a great back massage under a small waterfall…good times all around. Of course we did have the little setback of the tailgate of the truck falling off as we drove there, so three of our boys took a nose dive into the mud! It was very funny actually!











And of course, the obligatory traffic jam at the cattle crossing. Poor Sally got caught on the wrong side! We had to wait for all the cattle to go by so she could get back to our side!

Then this afternoon I had another fun diversion for a few hours to take my mind off the stresses of medical stuff. I went with some of the youth down to the beach and we found a huge log, drug it into the water and played "king of the log" for what seemed like hours. Why is knocking people into the water sooooo entertaining?
I just thank God for the little pleasures in life that remind us that the world is not actually falling apart and that there are many things out there besides our problems.
