What a day!!!
Today was AMAZING! We started off with a great time of prayer and bible study to get the morning going just before we went and ate rice pourage for breakfast. Yummy. We then took a 40 min boat ride over to an island that is almost all Muslim. We got to ride in the side cars of these little scooters. That was pretty cool. We went to a school and got to hang out and play games with the older kids. Now when I say school, it was more like a day care. There was zero structure. Kind of crazy actually. The ladies did English activities with the girls while the guys played kickball with the boys. They then fed us an incredible lunch of fried rice, muscles, and crabs. Fresh crabs at that! After lunch the ladies got to go in pairs to the girls homes. They got to show family pictures and see their family pics and just hang with them. All with no translators. But they didn't need them. God allowed his love to be enough communication to the Muslim families. All the little girls were so excited to have our ladies in their homes. They then took them all on scooter rides around the island. They all said it was the most amazing experience. Words couldn't describe the looks I saw on all our ladies faces after all that. The guys tried to go to a Muslim mosque but no one was there. We got the chance to just hang and talk with Keith and just see Jesus radiate off of him. So much more happened but I can't get it all into words. God is just amazing is all I can say! Our evening worship time is just the best way to wind down and let God know how much he means to us and worship Him with everything we have. I'm sorry the pictures aren't working. I don't know why. Please stay tuned to see what God does tomorrow at the hospital we are going to be at. Love you all and thanks so much for all the prayers.
