Day 3
Hola!!!
As I sit here tonight it is hard for me to know exactly what to tell you. There are so many kids, so many details and so many blessings it is hard to wrap it up into one blessings...it will take me a year over time to share all the things I have taken in. So, I am going to tell you for the most part what today held and give a few points of things kids shared today.
We started our day at McDonalds, headed to the site...Once at the site we set up, wait for the memebers of La Boca Baptist Church...they run on another time...late! So, crazy! In a hurry when driving....major slow every where else! Anyway, we sing songs, Jonathan and Chad teach the bible story then we divied up into groups and do other things...today we split up girls and boys...the boys went down to the soccer field and the girls stayed and we painted their nails...what a blessing...I can't tell you one thing about the boys because I didn't go down there..I think they had a blast. But, as for the girls it was so much fun. They would have you paint their nails...look at them and then run to Rodney who became the polish remover and then went to get a different color put on...it was so cute and fun to see this take place. The mothers wanted their's painted just as bad. God worked in our kids lives today. They served more and steped out of their comfort zone...it was so cool to see. During the worship part the kids sang "I can sing of your love forever" in Spanish of course but it was amazing. Tears just ran down my face as I thought to myself...this is what Heaven will be like...all singing to the same ONE God! Amazing.
What touched my heart the most is that Chad and I have prayed and prayed over the last year for the kids we would have to work with, the people on our team and the Louderback's and their team here. This group could not have been any better. I tell you I want to bring them all home with us. I would stay here however, I miss Kaileigh and sonic! :) I love these people. They make my heart smile. I am excited (for the most part) to wake up at 5:20am. I am happy to sweat alongside of these people sharing all God had planned for us to do. But, the biggest blessing is seeing first hand God fulfilling the exact things we have prayed for is for our Lockney students to see God's hand a work, to be a part of that and to step out in faith and serve. And he has. He has given these kids a heart for missions, he has given these kids a heart for people, he has given this kids a heart to share Jesus. In the over 10 years of working with youth this is the biggest blessing I have gotten to see first hand. I cannot expalin how it feels. So, cool. and I am so grateful!
Tonight we had a great time fellowshiping during supper. A little side show from Noah...in the middle of the street and just talking about our day.
Thanks for checking in on us. Tomorrow is our last day on the site. We will see the Canal tomorrow. Us from Lockney are the only one's excited about this :) It will be fun.
Here are so pictures.
