A sunburn in October seems very strange to me but here it's completely normal and I'm definitely experiencing it. The weather has been amazing. It's mostly sunny during the day and rains at night -- my favourite. 

Last week there was a three day holiday that started on Wednesday. Amanda and I decided to explore Siguatepeque a little bit which consisted of us going to a restaurant/cafe right off the highway. It's called the Rittenhouse, and it was beautiful. Tall trees, plants, and delicious tasting coffee and cheesecake. 

On Thursday the Bettney's and I took a 3 day roadtrip to Gracias Honduras to visit a family friend who taught at the Bilingual school in Sigua. The trip was full of adventure as we explored old castles, the bilingual school she teaches at now, relaxed in hot springs and went zip lining. The weekend was relaxing, exciting and fun. I'm thankful for the adventures I'm able to go on with so many wonderful people. 

This week I've been able to work in grade 1 science, grade 2 & 3 PE, and grade 3 reading.  I love volunteering in multiple grades because I'm able to work with different kids and build relationships with them. The teachers are amazing and you can tell they're passionate about what they do and they love the kids they work with.

Please pray that God would continue to work in my life and in the lives around me. Pray for safety and strength throughout my days, and that God would open my eyes to see what he wants me to do now and in the future. 
Thank you for you support and prayers throughout these past three weeks. 

I hope you enjoy these pictures and can get a glimpse of the beauty in Honduras.
