here and there and back again

Sorry for the month long absence in my blogging! The last month included a lot of travel, a wonderful visit with my family in Ohio and a few weeks of training in Pennsylvania with MCC. I was very thankful to be in PA so I could connect with my relatives there and a few friends that I haven't seen for awhile.

The training was long and exhausting, but I met some really great people. I got some more tools to help me in my new job that I hope will see me through the next few months. I am looking forward to the arrival of 4 new team members in the month of August and getting to be part of their in-country orientation. It is also the start of a very busy time at MCC in Aug/Sept with lots of comings and goings--and as always--lots of reports!




On the home front, I had a great time with my niece and nephew (as you will see below). We had lots of quality time together and I got to know them both a lot better. My family also carved out a lot of time to spend with me, which was very special.

I came back to Honduras on Saturday and the outgoing reps left on Tuesday--it was a fast transfer, let me tell you! But, I was grateful for the time we put in back in June to cover a lot of important stuff. It's scary flying solo...but at least we are starting off easy with only 2 other workers in-country at the moment :)

Will continue to keep you updated on new discoveries and fun moments in San Pedro. Oh, and I will be going to Santa Rosa next weekend for the last meeting with our women's groups!! It will be bittersweet, but I am looking forward to having a good goodbye with them.
