We just got back from a missions trip to La Ceiba, Honduras and had a wonderful time! We were hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Skelton, who are missionaries in Honduras, and we stayed at their White Fields property. I will give you a brief overview of what we did each day, but will let the pictures speak for themselves!

Check in to our Cabana
My first stop once we landed 😉
The Skelton’s daughter, Bethany, is a professional chef and cooked wonderful meals for us while we were there!Our cabana! The entire property at White Fields is beautiful!This is the dining hall where we gathered for meals.And this is the “treehouse” for guests to enjoy the hammocks and ping pong table upstairs.The swimming pool is filled from the spring in the mountains!There are so many fruit trees on the property, but Kaleb especially enjoyed the mangos!
Church service at our international sister church in Pizatti
Ice cream and brownies to celebrate Micah’s birthday
Our mission director and his wife. They did a great job putting the trip together! I was unsuccessful in placing my coffee order in English – I was so thankful to have Camilla, our interpreter, nearby to communicate in Spanish! Haha
Hearing them sing How Great is our God in their language was so beautiful to me!Happy Birthday in Honduras!The gentleman man on the right has been preaching for 75 years and was a missionary to Honduras for 55 years!

Walk to the local Beach
This is Bethany, our host’s daughter. We loved her cooking! She also learned that I love iced coffee and she made me a homemade one. So good!These are almonds! This is the river that connects to the ocean. The boys enjoyed swimming here, and catching tadpoles!The rainbow was faint, but it sure looked pretty after the rain!
