Gods team

We have had a busy, but relaxing day. We met new people and young out with the youth from church. They guys, Richard Kent Josh and Brian, showed them how to play our form of football then they kindly showed us theirs. It was a sight to say the least. Everyone is now packing up their suitcases for a quick departure from the hotel after morning services. I have taken some of this time to reflect on our team. They all do not disappoint. The young boys, Ducan Layton and Noah, have had a good time in another country. They have hung out with children younger than them and have tried to be good role models for them during their time here. They do not think that the food is half bad either. Some do not want to leave so soon. Josh and Trevor have been loving the attention and have been seen often just surrounded by other teens trying to get to know them. Shea and Hunter have loved on everyone they can, child and adult alike. Becky has made a special effort to remember people's names which can be a feat among itself. Richard and Brian are double trouble I have learned. They are both ready at any moment to share what God has already done for everyone. Cynthia has had no prob helping us all through the surprises with her knowledge and love. David is always talking to someone in Spanish, although I am not really sure want he is saying but I am confident it is good. Kent and Jill have been showing love to all through the interesting situations we find ourselves in. Their leadership has kept this team going and motivated for God. We have all slowly changed our English over to Spanish. We leave shortly for our talk of love to the youth of the church. We are all serving Gold boldly and wholeheartedly. Thank you for your part in all of this. Your prayers have encouraged and strengthened us. Tomorrow we worship one last time with the church we are serving then leave for the big city. Please pray for our goodbyes and the travel in the upcoming days.

  1. So thankful for answered prayers of rest and strength for these last few days! So exciting hearing all the updates. I will continue to be praying for you all that God gives you closure for now...as I know how hard it is to leave. But how stinking cool that we now have more brothers and sisters because of your obedience to Him. All glory to God! Love ya'll!
