Sorry for those who may have been looking for a posting from me (family & friends) that it has taken me this many days to post something but while “things” move very slow around here, “time goes very fast. I cannot begin to explain how exciting these past few days have been. There are always opportunities to share with someone through your words and actions the love of Christ. The kids all just want to be “loved on”. But there are also young adults and older adults who are watching to see if we are really committed to putting our Faith in Action. Just a few things I have learned about being here that I would share with others who may be feeling the call to participate in a mission trip here.
- Leave your watch at home, you won’t need it
- Don’t worry about what you will eat or if you will be hungry. The food is fantastic and very filling.
- Learn that even in what we might view as “chaos” (kids running around during church and dogs wandering into the aisles during service) doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things because God’s Holy Spirit is so strong in every gathering that you cannot help but be touched by it.
- But most important of all, no matter what the barriers to communication might be here; language, cultural, personality differences, we are the same church with the same God as our Father and the same Savior in Jesus Christ. After that, the rest is not important.
Hi to Sondra, Katie and Paige. I miss and love you and I thank you for allowing me the opportunity to come on this trip. It is truly a Transformational Experience that I hope someday each of you may experience. Gloria Dios!
