I'll fill you all in on school and life here soon... I just wanted to inform people that i received really sad news the other day. So remember how I lived with a family in Honduras in Fall 2007? well, we still keep in touch through facebook, and the other day I was notified of some sad news. Turns out, my host "mom", Ingrid, was pregnant and when she went into labor her, my host "father", Edgar, and "little brother", Andy, went to the hospital. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Rafaelito, but later there were complications with Ingrid. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but she ended up passing away three hours later after Rafaelito was born. I am in total shock about this and cant even imagine what that could be like for Edgar, Andy, and the rest of the family. Now Edgar is to care for both of his sons, with the help of his family.
Ingrid was a woman of great character and such strong faith in God. She was someone to look up to, and she is one of the people in my life (at the time I was in Honduras) to really show me what a relationship with God really looks like, and the importance of relationships - with friends, family, and God. Please pray for the Areano family, as they deal with these tragic, unexpected emotions along with caring and loving a brand new baby.
Rest in Peace, Ingrid... you will truly be missed...
