Zelaya

School has officially been in session for over a month now or at least that is according to recess watch schedule. I am not exactly sure if that is right or not. Today there was a large development in the difficult political situation that has been happening. For anyone who doesn’t know what is going on exactly a few months ago the president Mel Zelaya, was shipped to Costa Rica because he was trying to change the constitution. So he was no longer the president and a new man named Micheletti came in. Well the international community has strongly condemned this “coup”. So over the last few months there has been a political battle between Zelaya trying to gain international support for his return to presidency and Micheletti trying to tell the world what they did was fully constitutional. Well today Zelaya suddenly reappeared back into Honduras for the first time since his removal on June 28. This reignited this already divided country at least in the big cities. Essentially now there are two presidents of Honduras. The one the international community says is the president which is Zelaya and the one according to the current Honduran government which is Micheletti. Currently we are under curfew due to this until tomorrow. This has the potential to create a large amount of turmoil in especially the large cities. Things like large demonstrations and riots. Of course there is the possibility of violence but to this point that has not been the case and the government is calling for a peaceful resolution to this crazy situation. This so called resolution however, as I can tell is very far from figured out. I ask for those of you who read this blog to keep Honduras in your prayers and that everything stays peaceful and that this be something that is figured out soon. I will keep you all updated. God Bless

Since I wrote this blog I will give you an update. We have been under curfew for the last 2 days. Fortunately we are outside of the capital city so things are a little bit more slack however, there has been rioting taking place all through the capital city. It isn't looking real good currently. I haven't taught classes for 2 days due to the curfews. So it has been kinda boring and the country is kind of on edge but fortunately nothing too bad has happened. Please keep this country in your prayers that the leaders act wisely and don't do anything foolish. God Bless
