Today marks the one-year anniversary of one of the most important political moments in Honduran history.
On June 28, 2009 current President Mel Zelaya was forcefully ousted from public office for legitimate constitutional reasons. The rest of the world called it a coup d’etat.
Dr.’s David and Florence Yoon were in route to Honduras on this day last year. At their layover in Miami they received a call telling them all the airports were shut down in the country. That day they learned about the ousting.
Even now the effects are still being felt. A missions-group would be here at the clinic right now were there not picketers and protesters blocking the bridge into El Progreso from the airport. Hopefully we’ll see them by dinner-time.
If you would like to read an opinionated (but largely, I feel, correct) piece summarizing the events, go here. The article is helpful in summarizing the events and lends an insider view on people in the country.

Thanks, Pastor Luke and Lynn, for caring and sharing. The link made me wonder what our country will look like down the road. Love to you both and hope all is well with you. I’m still praying.
PS: How about an update on the puppy training.
