Ballots or no?

If you have been following the international news, you have likely seen some stories about what's going on in Honduras. Basically, the president is pushing forward with a vote tomorrow on whether or not to allow special referendums in national elections. Both the senate and the supreme court are against him on this. People here are very passionate about it on both sides of the issue. There are predictions of protesting on both sides. Rachel asked a Honduran if he thought it would happen in Trujillo. He laughed and said, "In Tegucigalpa and San Pedro, but not in Trujillo."

So even though we think everything is fine here, we are going to stay put at the hotel tomorrow, which is way up the hill from town. We are going to have worship here in the morning with the group from Washington, and we will worship just down the street at Buenos Aires tomorrow evening if all is calm. I sincerely don't believe there is anything to worry about here in Trujillo, but we will be conservative in our actions just in case. 

Today, Rachel took the Washington group on a tour through town, and also finished our grocery shopping along the way. So, we are finally all set up in our apartment. We have gas for the stove, 5-gallon jugs of purified water, and plenty of rice, beans, and a couple of chickens, so we're in good shape. Our friends at Little Hands, Big Hearts also let us borrow a fan, which is doing an excellent job of keeping me from perspiring all over the keyboard on my laptop. It's the little things in life.

We are truly blessed.
