We're home, in case you were wondering. We arrived in PA around 11:30 p.m. on Monday. It was an uneventful travel day from San Pedro Sula to Atlanta and then to Washington D.C. We breezed through all the security checks and customs. It is great to be home again and to process all the things we learned in Honduras. Backing up just a little bit, Sunday we spent the day and overnight in San Pedro Sula. About a week ago they had a lot of rain which created a flash flood. The road in front of the bed & breakfast house was totally broken up and now is impossible to drive on. Because of the governmental unrest, it may be a long time until that is fixed. People in Honduras just learn to "deal with it" and wait. Since coming home we have been trying to catch up with mail, unpacking, gardening, housework, etc. We want to thank the many people who helped us during our time away. Thanks Dustin for mowing our yard, our neighbors Bob & Rhonda for watching over our place,and Phil & Moni for helping with Sandy our dog. Zeke for taking and picking us up at the airport and for keeping Sandy (don't ask how many times she ran away), and for the numerous kind "weeding" angels who came and worked in our garden. Our neighbor said he saw four women there at one time...we have our guesses it was some special folks from church!
Thanks everyone for your prayers during our time in Honduras. Carl will continue the rest of his sabbatical in the states now. At the present time, Carl's parents are spending a few days with us and we will enjoy a family reunion in Johnstown on Saturday with the Luther family (Carl's maternal grandmother's family tree). We can't promise as many beautiful pictures but we do look forward in later July to a time in the Smoky Mountains and then Carl & I will be biking in upstate New York August 2-6. (If you would be able to sponsor us with a monetary gift towards MCC, please let us know.)
We wish all our family and friends a good week. We are praying for the church at Marion Mennonite, especially those who are experiencing physical pain.
Peace to you and in the world !

Who We Are
- Kniss Family
- We're a family made up of dad, who is a pastor, mom, who is a teacher and lover of music, and three daughters, ages 9, 12 and (almost) 15. Most likely if you found this blog you already know that, but for those who stumble upon us, that's who we are! We're currently being blessed with a 3 month sabbatical, and this blog is keeping those who care up to date.
