A Letter Home…
Dearest parents, siblings, roommates, pastors, friends, classmates, supporters, and others back home:
What a privilege and honor it has been to serve here at Heart of Christ this summer! We’ve seen, smelled, heard, and ate things beyond our wildest imaginations- and suddenly, two months are up and soon we’ll be headed home! We sure are excited for hot showers, pizza, and our own beds, not to mention embracing each one of you again at the airport, church service, or wherever else we see you SO SOON!
That being said, as we head your way, we’d like to share a few things with...
20 Things About Living in Honduras for 2 Months
1- Produce is so cheap. The other day I bought 2 bananas, 2 mangos, and a HUGE carrot for 87 cents. 2- We take bucket showers.

Let’s talk about Depression
I believe you’ve been led to this blog post for a reason, so before we go any further, I must first say this: THERE IS HOPE.
I remember it hitting me like a ton of bricks. I was sitting at my brother’s baseball game, chatting with my sister about all things life, when with deep look in her eyes, revelation came, “I think I am depressed.”
Tears came like the rush out of the gutters into barrels after a strong Honduran afternoon rain, and I spend the next thirty-six hours weeping, a combination of:
Sadness: why...
