Tomorrow Makes a Week

It is crazy to think just a week ago we were still in the States. This place has quickly become home. Everyone is so willing and accepting of us. We have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with the team here this past weekend. 2 of the older gentlemen on the team lived here for the first decade of their lives as missionaries; they have wonderful stories and their Spanish is very good. It is a pleasure to have their family here this week as part of the team.

Saturday we were blessed to spend the day with the youth pastor, Matthew, his wife, Jamie, and their one-year old baby boy, Gabe. We hiked all down hill to the water fall and then all UP HILL to the car. It was a fun little hike. Yesterday we went with the team to a different waterfall and were able to swim through it. That is where these pictures are from:

 

 

Sunday involved our local service which focused on "What is the purpose of God's grace in our lives". It is a convicting questions which encourages me to watch intently what God is doing in our lives. In the evening we went to a Dominican church (although the service was translated). This service focused on the forgiveness God has provided to us and the forgiveness we must pass on to others. These topics alone could have a whole blog on each idea and I will provide neither today :). Josh and I will be shadowing in the houses tonight (Josh with the boys; I'm with the girls).

 

All is good - God is faithful in ALL ministries. Praying for our family and friends back home each in our own ministries for the same purposes.
