Sacrificate

Living in Honduras for the past 8 years has been an amazing adventure. People often ask me what's a normal day like for me. Well, there is nothing normal about any day of my family's life in Honduras. It's an adventure. I hope to be able to share some of our daily adventures and experiences through this blog. Enjoy!

Christmas Time in Honduras




Every year Healing Hands International base out of Nashville, Tennessee, gathers, sorts and ships Magi boxes to Honduras for Christmas. These small boxes full of love and toys and such are the only thing that most of their recipients will receive in a year. Mission Lazarus has the opportunity to be the organization that distributes these boxes to churches all over Honduras and other countries like Nicaragua and El Salvador. This year 9500 boxes were shipped to Honduras. Due to delays in customs the container did not arrive at our warehouse until late Saturday evening, Dec. 6. Once the container arrives we unload every crate of presents and "fill orders" according to the lists that churches have sent us. It was a huge team effort but in less than one week all 9500 presents were sorted, repackaged, and shipped off to the locations. Thanks so much to everyone who helps make this project possible in the US. We'll have another report after Christmas with pictures from the hand outs.
