This morning we were able to visit the 4 families that are going to get a home. The conditions seem unbelievable to us, but there was so much of the same everywhere we went. There was no feeling of sadness among the locals. The kids are happy to see you and the smiles are precious.
After that we were able to settle in with a large group of kids at Basilio´s house. Little boys got to play with markers and color, little girls got their nails painted. Alot of pictures of sweet faces. Team members seemed to get mobbed depending what was in their bag. Joy seem to have won that round with a bag of rockets.
Not being able to easily communicate with the children was a little frustrating. I would have given anything to have been able to pick up and hug some of these lilltle people. God gave us a peek of how amazing He is today. I pray that He continue to reveal Himself to us so that we can continue to serve how He wants us to serve.
Our thoughts and prayers are also with Treena and the boys, Peggy and Barry, and the foster Mom. We must stay faithful and trust Him.
Love love love this blog thing......i'm so happy for you, the team, and we're praying for you lots and eating up all the stories. Hannah bought rockets to send, so she loved the part about Joy giving them out too!

Don and the rest of the group,
ReplyDeleteRalph and I are also sending along our prayers to you. It is wonderful the work you are all doing there and the joy you must be bringing to these people. Keep safe and spread His word and hope to see you soon.

As frustrating as I am sure it is with the language barrier, love needs no translation. The people of El Salvador see and know that you are working in God's love and that is enough. Call on Him for your strength when you feel weak, patience when you feel frustrated and when you are sad, the joy in those faces of those around you will be enough to get you through.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you sooo much and love you even more. All of you are in our hearts and in our prayers.
