Our Friends From Honduras

One of the perks of summer is that we usually get a chance to hangout with our good friends Jake and Rachel. They live in Honduras and work at a school out there, so it is always a special treat when we get to see them. I was a little worried that our time back in Michigan wouldn't overlap with theirs, but things timed out perfectly.

We got to hangout with them twice over the first couple of weeks of July. The first time we met them at one our favorite Grand Rapids sandwich spots, Two Beards, and then made our way out to Tunnel Park in Holland to spend the afternoon at the beach. The second time we met up at a park in Hudsonville to play a little disc golf and get ice cream. It was wonderful!

I can't say enough good things about these two awesome people. The work they do is super cool. They are easy to talk to and insightful. Our time with them is always too short, but I suppose that means that we always look forward to the next time we get to see them again.

If you are interested in learning more about what they do, you can check out their school's website or facebook page. I have had the privilege of going down to Honduras once to help with a build project for a week at one of their schools, and since then Katie and I have sponsored a couple of kids so that they can attend their school. We're hoping one of these years to make it down there again, even just to visit our friends in their new city where they just started up a new school location in the past year.
