#thirdworldproblems

I can't believe in less than a week I'll be back Stateside and adjusting to life back in the first world.  I certainly have had my share of adventures during my time in Honduras.  Many times I just had to laugh so I wouldn't cry.  If you've ever lived in a developing country, you can probably relate to many of these things (and yes, all of these things happened at least once).

Status updates from Honduras:  #Thirdworldproblems...

1.  I forgot to pack toilet paper in my backpack today and my parasite friend is back to visit.

2.  The water went out before I rinsed the dye out of my hair.

3.  There's no butter in town and I need to bake 50 mini apple pies.

4.  There's a cow blocking my front door and I can't leave my house.

5.  I locked the keys inside the house and the porton is locked.  I'm now trapped between the house and the outside gate.

6.  The electricity is out and it's computer day at school.

7.  A terrifying half rat/ half squirrel is hanging from my shower curtain and I can't get him out of the house.

8.  It's payday and my passport is at the Embassy in Teguc.

9.  The electricity went out and I'm in the middle of cooking dinner (a daily occurrence).

10. I'm 2 miles from home and my shoe just broke.

All joking aside, I know my time here has changed me in so many ways.  I am humbled by the kindness and love I was shown by complete strangers who welcomed me into their homes and taught me to count all of my blessings.  I will always hold Honduras in a special place in my heart, and hopefully I'll be back sooner than later.
