Well here we go, my first blog. Bear with me, for those of you who are reading this who have been to Honduras with me and have seen me blog.. you know how long these normally take me.
As some of you may know, last December I was blessed with the opportunity to go on a missions trip to Honduras. Having been on missions trips in the past I expected it to grab my heart but was very unaware of how much. Before that trip had even ended I was already thinking about when I would be able to go back and started praying about it. I was then blessed with another opportunity to go again this past June with another team. My heart was captured even more! So most recently, I had taken off a couple days of work over Labor Day Weekend and, with the planning of all about 6 days and God's guidance, I headed back down to Honduras for about 4 way too short days. Yep, only for God (and His super cute kids) would I ever hop on a plane and travel all by myself to a foreign country. Well, after that "tease" of a trip, I have really felt a tugging at my heart to get back there.
So, after lots of prayer, guess what!? I'm going back!! I will be traveling down with another group who will be there December 27th- January 4th. I am so excited to see what God has in store for this team! I know it will be a great trip!! While we are there we will be doing some of the following..
-Visiting children at orphanages
-Feeding people living at the city garbage dump
-Feeding the people who live in the streets.
-Building houses
-Visiting children at hospital, bringing them candy/toys
-Visiting elderly homes
-Helping missionaries with existing projects
-Delivering bags (with food, clothes, blankets, other necessities) in villages
For more info on what we've done before/ things we may be doing I highly encourage you all to check out Ashley Lauer's blog at www.ashinhonduras.blogspot.com
We kept updates for friends and family back home on her blog on both of the first 2 team trips I was on. Along with some great blogs from when Ashley was living there and other teams.
Along with going down with the team, I have the opportunity to stay until January 20! I have been so incredibly blessed with an awesome job (and boss) that allows me to do this. I will be staying with some missionary friends down there and working along side of them trying to show the love of Jesus to everyone we can.

We have two very vital needs for this trip. The first and most important being prayer. Please be praying for the Lord to prepare our hearts to have the compassion we need for the people there. And, please be praying for the Lord to prepare the hearts of those we come in contact with. Pray that we will be used for God's glory in ways we couldn't imagaine.
The second need is financial. The total cost for the team trip is $1,500 per person. So, for me to stay almost a month it will be around $2,000. (This includes our airfare, work fund, food, lodging etc. for the time we are there). If you feel led to support financially, there are two ways you can do so. One being donate directly on my blog through paypal by clicking the 'donate' button above. The other is by mailing a check. If you e-mail me at caitedavis@hotmail.com I will send you the address.
Thank you all so much for your support in advance. While we are there with the team we will be updating what we're doing on Ashley's blog and I will try my best to update my blog while I'm there.
God bless!!
