Hello all just wanted to share some of the events of our
first day. Starting this morning when we
left the parking lot we shared laughs, safety tips, and expectations. We came into this first day full of
enthusiasm and the excitement of the unknown.
These feeling lasted throughout the fight and carried over into our
introduction of Laurie and Jessie (our event coordinators) We also got to meet
a gentleman by the name of Mikol who was kind enough to drive us around this
beautiful country.
Oddly enough the fellowship time we shared together took precedent
over our interest in scheduled events.
Here we are a church family who see each other regularly and continuing
to share and earn new things about each other.
About half way thru our bus ride we stopped for lunch and had quite
possibly some of the best food we ever tasted, served by an unparalleled
staff. A few of us even got to brush up
on our Spanish. Now when I share with
you we are a church family we share a meal like one too, those who were interested
shared and tried each other dishes and the conversations and laughs flowed as
if we had done this million times before.
I for one was proud to be a part of this mission and was becoming even
more excited about what the rest of the week will hold. It was not until after we resumed our trip we
started to inquire about the schedule set up for us and think out loud what God
has in store for us in this part of the world.
Jessie (our intern) started to give us a break down and the faces of our
team just lit up.
Once we arrived at the property of our host church we met
our interpreter Tol and our cook Lila, both absolutely lovely people. He taught himself English through music and
she leads bible studies out of her home and is saving to build on so she may
have larger gatherings. This is day one
and it has already been an amazing trip, from the volcanoes to the surf waves
we have seen so much and can’t wait to do so much more. Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers
and we ask that you continue to do so as we reach out to share the word and
Christ.
