Well, if you only knew what I went through to get to this computer right now! Yesterday was full of much excitement, and a first for all of us here. As we rode the infamous yellow school bus yesterday morning Gary, our leader, gave each of us a rubber band. He told us that we were going to be stretched, and that God would use our stretching and maybe even break us so that we would have to join other rubber bands with the other Christians here. We definately did some stretching yesterday, but it was all for the planting of seeds in Colonia.
I helped in the distribution of shoes, which was a very neat experience. Others made balloon animals, took pictures, and played games. Lets just say, the shoes were a hit, and eventually our whole team helped in this process of planting seeds in a way which we may not understand right now, but God will reveal his plan for those later.
Once we ended the distribution, we all gathered around with the Honduran church and ate lunch. We had peanut butter and jellies as well as ham and cheese. We all ate together as a family, and thats truly what we are.
After a good rest in the beautiful hotel it was a time for dinner (we really like to eat!). We ate at Camperos Chicken, which was delicious! We even had some chlorine tasting ice cream, but we´re still alive! Yes mom, there is a Bojangles here! After dinner we went to a prayer meeting at the church unlike anything I have ever been to! It started off with LOUD singing and LOUD music and even a lot of dancing! Many of us were asked to join in, and we really enjoyed coming together as one. The people of the church are some of the most welcoming, warm hearted people I have ever met! God really is at work in the church here, and it is visible on their faces.
We are all doing wonderful and smiling, and there is lots and lots of laughing going on! Continue to pray for Adam, as we still aren´t sure if he is going to make it, but we pray that God will make a way because we need our missing team member. Thanks for taking time to find out how we are doing, and I hope you all have a wonderful day ahead of you because I know we do!
