We're heading home! Travel days are always long, but I absolutely love the anticipation of flying and going somewhere new or heading home...there's just something about it that thrills me every time! It never gets old. We got up and ate breakfast at the hotel. We then loaded up the bus and headed from Valle to Tegucigalpa. The drive is beautiful...through the mountains down into the valleys. Tegus is nestled between a lot of mountains which makes for a beautiful view and very challenging take-offs/landings :) When we got to the airport, we saw Lidia's daughter, "little" Lidia there! She is usually with us as well to translate for us, but she now has a job and wasn't able to translate this year. We then said tearful goodbyes to everyone and passed through security. We did a little shopping in the airport and then waited on our plane to Miami. We arrived in Miami and then basically just visited while waiting on our plane to Nashville. We made it to Nashville with no problems, all our luggage and family and friends waiting. We said goodbye Zachary and the Bemis crew then headed off for Paris. Before we even left Nashville, a car cut over in front of us and then slammed on it's brakes after realizing what they'd done. We slammed into the back of them, and then they took off! Crazy! Everyone in the bus was okay...just a little shaken up. Corey was so calm driving. He followed them as they drove through a couple red lights and we got their license plate number. Then we pulled over and called the police. The arrived very quickly and got us back on the road in about 20 minutes. I told the boys once we were home that God had definitely answered their prayers for our safety from the beginning of the trip to the end. We got back home around 1:30am. Home feels so nice, but a part of our heart remains in Honduras...we look forward to returning again next year and seeing our dear friends and the people we've grown to love so much!
