Here we are, back in Catacamas, Olancho, Honduras, safe and sound. We arrived to the airport in Tegucigalpa yesterday and met our director there. She took us back to the office where we ate lunch and then headed to the bus station. Four hours later we came home. It was safe the entire way and we had no problems whatsoever. Certainly everyone is talking about the political events and the possible implications, but most people go about their lives as normal, although a little more carefully.
When we got back to the house we were greeted by our neighbors Doris and Noé. A bunch of members of the Front Porch Gang also showed up not two minutes after we got home. It was great to see everyone again!
Our biggest surprise was that Doris and Noé (who are the caretakers of the house) had played Extreme Home Makeover while we were gone. They tiled our shower, fixed up the sink so that it works now, and painted two rooms. We were super surprised and very excited to come home to such great improvements! Life will be a little less like camping now :)
There´s a new volunteer here now who lives with Doris and Noé named Jordan. He, Matt and David are reviewing last year and making their next plans now. The kids are ready to have classes, so I´ll start those this afternoon already. We´re picking up right where we left off. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for our safe travel!

So exciting! I know you'll enjoy the rennovations. Glad to know that things are 'ok' down there, too. Still praying to be sure.
Great to hear that you're back "home". We love following what you are up to in our old "neck of the woods"! You're in our prayers.
