The Beautiful Island of Roatan!


































My parents, my cuz, Brittany, and I were able to vacation on Roatan while they were here in Honduras with me. We had such an amazing time! We stayed at the calvary chapel, Roatan, Sonrise missionary Inn for the four nights we were on the island. And we got to hang out with some kids from YWAM who will be spending the next couple months in Honduras. We attended their church service Sunday and it was awesome to see what the Lord is doing on Roatan! If you are interested in learning more about Calvary Chapel Roatan check out their website at ccroatan.com. The family and I were also able to enjoy the beautiful mountains and beaches of Roatan and we snorkeled and swam in the crystal clear waters to our hearts content! Although I definitely wasn't ready to leave when the time came.

I've got some catching up to do!










Wow! I can't believe i haven't posted anything for over a month! Time is continuing to fly by and I think it's crazy that i have been here for almost four months now! It sure doesn't seem like that long! A couple of weeks ago I was able to fly home and visit beautiful Florida and spend time with my amazing family! (And of course my wonderful critters too) It is so true that you don't realize what you've got til it's gone! I realize now more than ever how truly blessed I am. So here are some catch up pictures... hope you enjoy them!

A week ago the girls and I were able to take a little road trip to Copan, which is about 3 and a half hours away from the lake. We got there after dark on Friday, and spent that night and the night after in a cute little hotel called Calle Real. We all had so much fun exploring the little town, just walking around, and poking around tourist shops. And Saturday we were able to take a bus ride to some nearby hot springs. We also saw the Mayan Ruins which were incredible! Definitely the highlight of the trip for me! These pictures i got of the ruins do not do them justice! But yeah... the trip was an awesome, memorable one!
