Who is Laura?

For those of you who don’t know me too well - and, yes, even for those of you who do know me too well :-), here’s some light reading of random things about me:

• I am a mexi-pol texan. My dad’s parents are Mexican and Polish and my mom’s parents are, well… Texan. Tell you what, there are not many of us mexi-pol texans around, and I’m very proud to be one. :-)
• I like shoveling snow. I do not like cleaning showers (I’d prefer to clean a toilet in place of a shower). I have been in four states at the same time. I have never eaten a grasshopper, but I think I will get that chance, since they are apparently a special treat in Oaxaca :-)
• I have been on missions to Honduras 4 times. Through my experiences there, I have been blessed with many amazing opportunities. Can you guess which one of the following is something I never really did in Honduras?
  a. help deliver a baby
  b. jump off a 20-foot cliff into a river
  c. make cinnamon rolls from scratch
  d. ride in a cattle truck on a highway
  e. build part of a road
  f. cut a path with a machete
  g. teach in a one-room school building
  h. help construct a pond
  Hmmm… which one could it be? Have your guess? Well, actually, all of them are true (tricky, eh?). I have also had the wonderful opportunity during my times there to be still and know that God is God and experience the passionate worship of Honduran churches.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that. My future blogs will probably be more informative, but I thought I’d toss in a fun one for kicks :-)
