Honduras is a mess and my daughter is now home from there. Whew!

My daughter went to Honduras for three weeks to perform medical services for a mission there. Right after she got onto the plane to come home a possible coup d'etat was forming, the military arrested the president and seems to be in control. Riots are appearing in the capital, no word about the rest of the country. Her group was detained a military check point where they demand while holding machine guns that the group give them all their money. The director who was a local talked them out of it and they proceded to go to the airport.

She's home now and 15 minutes into our conversations she told us she's going back to help the people there next year. What a heart.

Wow, some seriously good timing getting out of there & getting home.

It seems that many more students are trapped inside Honduras. My daughter has learned that several of her classmates are in lockdown and can't get out of the country with the military closing the airport.

For those wishing to know the REAL story of what is going on there and how our president is reacting go to this site please to to this site. You may have to translate it into english.
