Welcome to my Blog. Pat thought I should do this because everybody tells us "Pat I can understand going to Honduras, but Gary?" My sentiments exactly. So what am I doing in Honduras and how did I get here?
    The book of Acts records that the apostle Paul wanted to travel east into Asia preaching the Gospel but the Holy Spirit prevented him and through the influence of a dream he went west into Macedonia instead and from there eventually to Rome and Christianities influence on Western civilization is History.
     My story is very similar. I never wanted to go to Berkshire Christian College. I went to then, Gorham State College until I had a Jesus encounter and ended up at Berkshire. I never wanted to be a Pastor, I was a Teacher, but after not being able to find a teaching job I ended up as a youth/associate pastor in Haverhill, MA under Rev. Paul Bertolino. I never wanted to work in youth camps but out of the blue Marguarite Sylvestor asked me to direct Camp Washington and with NO prior experience I did for the next 10 years with subsequent work at Camp Faithful in Plainville CT and at Camp Marion. I never wanted to be a senior pastor but ended up at Beals Island. I wanted to pastor in Bangor but ended up in Springfield, I wanted to pastor in Melrose but ended up in Eliot. I wanted to stay in Eliot but I'm going to Honduras - go figure.
    I can honestly say that God's way has been best and I've had some wonderful experiences and have meet some wonderful people and friends everywhere I've gone, so when Pat said there's a school in Sula looking for and English only speaking 7th grade teacher, something inside said why not give it a try. So here I go, hating the heat (its really the humidity) limited in Spanish to Olla, Si, Manana, and Mi Casa su Casa (which being married to Pat is truer than you could ever imagine, and teaching Math (about which I know absolutely nothing) Science, English and World History. Please Keep me in your prayers and I'll try and keep you posted here.
