4. Church - i went to a church named Verbo last Sunday and was so blessed to be surrounded by brothers and sisters. highlights included talking to the former children's director who is now planting a church 4 hours away and talking to a lonely security guard who was clearly yearning for some conversation. thank you Lord!
3. Apartment - yup, it has bed bugs and a stranded pigeon in the "laundry room"... but it's also got some charm and protection from the torrential rains. thank you Lord!
2. Communication - through the internet and cell phones, i've been able to keep in contact with loved ones. in addition, my Central American Spanish is gradually improving - hope to sound less and less like a gringo every day! (would you like to get in touch? facebook, skype: hopefields, and contacthopefields@gmail.com are the best ways!) thank you Lord!
1. Community - i've met a wonderful missionary family here as well as many other faithful workers. faith for them is a given - it's such an integral part of their lives... without being conceited, their lives point to the question, "Why wouldn't we give our whole lives for the Lord?" i am humbled and blessed to know them. thank you Lord!

Here are some verses for your top 5, courtesy of Psalm 91:
1. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
2. "Because he has loved me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name."
3. No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge. [take a closer look at that "pigeon"]
4. "He will call upon me, and I will answer him." [prayer = skype - headphones]
5. For you have made the Lord, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. [my refuge + your dwelling place = community]
