Anonymous asked: I'm really sorry about what's happening in Honduras, and I hope you're ok. I've been to Honduras on several service trips and I felt the same irrational safety you mentioned, even though I knew San Pedro Sula was the murder capitol of the Americas, even as I aided in gunshot wound surgeries. But this last time I went, a drug dealer and his men followed us home, drunk and armed, and refused to leave. It shocked me into the reality the friends I have there have to go through everyday. It's scary.
It is scary. More so than I think I can comprehend from the few small tastes I’ve had of life there. I’m really sorry about what happened to you. Thank goodness you’re okay, but I imagine that must have been terrifying.
It’s selfish to be worrying about myself in light of all these recent occurrences, but I can’t help but brood over my future there (or possible lack thereof). I think if I had the opportunity to go right this minute, for the first time since I started going, I might actually decline. It’s just disconcerting to think that after devoting 110% of myself to this place for several years now, I might end up having to cut ties.
