I've seen so much here in Honduras. I've felt
so much, laughed so much, and hurt so much here.
I learned how to make coconut bread, how to
change multiple diapers at once, how to be
patient, how to stick up for myself, how to live
alone, how to teach a class, how to catch a
gecko, how to speak Spanish, how to wash clothes
by hand, and how to ration. I learned countless
lessons on humility, honesty, sacrifice, and
self-control.

Public celebration of Christmas--public
testament of faith in Jesus Christ--is not
always easy, or even safe. As we move into a new

situations in which Christian brothers and
sisters lost their lives in recent days because
of their faith, or where a public official was
killed for trying to protect religious rights of
Christians.
