Current Situation in Honduras

As you may have heard there has been some new political turbulence in Honduras this week. The ousted president is back in the country and at the Brazilian embassy in the middle of Tegucigalpa causing many clashes between his supporters and those of the new government including the military. The new government in response has imposed a curfew since Monday night at 6 to keep people out of the streets. They are suspending the curfew today from 10am-5pm so people can get out and get food. All the airports have also been closed but will hopefully reopen tommorrow. The borders too are closed since there is a curfew but should reopen when that is lifted.

We are fine. We are at our house in the country away from the turmoil in Tegucigalpa, we have plenty of food and water. We are using this time to rest and get settled into this new house.

We just wanted to let you know the current situation here in Honduras, but also to let you know that we are fine.

Please pray for peace in this country.

I'm so glad to hear that you guys are fine & have food & water. It's frustrating to know that silly political decisions are affecting the lives of all those around you. Bart & I will be praying for peace in Honduras. You're definitely in our thoughts right now.
