The night before we arrived in the Miskita region of Honduras I dreamed of my dear high school friend Larinda. In junior high and high school Larinda spent many overnights at my house, was in the same high school plays as I was, played in the clarinet section with me in band (me on the bass clarinet and Larinda on the contra-bass so we sat side by side) and accompanied me on Project ECO trips to Macgregor, Iowa where we studied spiders and leaves and talked late into the night about boys and our futures and yes, even our faith.

Last week we were reminded, like a slap in the face reminded that we are living in a third world county. James Vijayakumar, Vijay, the area minister of the Southern Asia office for Global Ministries, explained to me that third world is not really a pejorative term. It was coined not to indicate a country that is somehow less than a first world country, but to refer to those living on the margins, those without power in the world. Yes, Honduras is a third world country.
