160 Dollars

- By Pablo

The day before we left for Honduras, a friend of ours called and said that he wanted to come by the house. When he came he gave us an envelope with $160 and told us to use it for whatever needs might arise.
The Plan
· Depart Atlanta at 9:45 am
· Arrive Roatan, Honduras at about 11:00 am local time
· Take the 2:00 pm ferry to La Ceiba
· Emilson (administrator at the school) will drive us to Trujillo

How It Happened
· Depart Atlanta an hour late at 10:45 am
· Arrive Roatan at 12:00 pm
· Get 6 of 7 pieces of luggage
· Search desperately for last suitcase
· “Your bag is on the next flight. Ten minutes.”
· Watch intently as baggage is unloaded.
· Search desperately for last suitcase
· Give up and fill out paperwork for lost suitcase
· Miss the last ferry of the day
· Buy 4 tickets to La Ceiba on old Russian airplane (Cost….Exactly $160)

I told you God would straighten out the curves. Not a coincidence that the $160 was exactly what you needed. Hoping to see your pictures of Peggy's apartment. I guess she didn't need a stove and refrigerator.

Yeah, there isn´t even space for a kitchen table even in a big house. but it works well for us for this short time. They are really working on the Brinkley (not our apartment though), the newly decorated rooms(not all done) are really nicely done, fabric paint and all and even clean!!
