Hello my dear friends,
surprisingly, we are tired again. But all for good! What an amazing day. Heres a look at what we did today:
6AM: Devotions on mountain overlooking San Carlos
8AM: Packed food hampers
9AM: Went to pastors to work (made forms, got rid of plaster on walls, rebar work...)
2PM: Lunch (Birthday cake :)
3.5PM: Delivered food hampers (invited people to evening service)
4PM: Break
7PM: Service (we sang songs, did dramas, testimonies, and sermon)
9PM: Went out for supper, ice cream
11PM: Home for bed
We have pretty busy schedules but were really enjoying it. It seems at the services we go to we get comments about how red we are. We had an awesome time of devotions today on the hill, and we were really blessed to go to the pastors house today, to attend his church and to meet his family...We sent our churchs greetings and blessings to them, they were so grateful for us. It was overwhelming. Well, without further to do, let me introduce you to a few of my good friends on the trip who will share about their time on the trip......
JUUUUUUUUUULIA!!!!
Wow! What an amazing 3 days. BUsy busy, busy but fun fun fun. I loved hiking on Sunday, the beautiful mountains were so amazing. My eyes have been opened so much on this trip! Last nigh at the orphanage was so amazing the children were so kind and open. They were all so happy and well behaved, it hurt to tink that they had no parents but everyone there showed so much love to them, it's not hard they are gorgeous children. The work is awesome, i've loved being able to do some really physical work and know that i'm really helping people. The people here are so happy and kind they are always happy to see us and greet us. It amazes me that some of them have so little compared to us but are still so happy. this morning on the mountain was so great for me! It was great to be able to see all of San Carlos and see all of the mountains, and the ocean, as our group sat there and all did our devotions i felt that we were so united in our purpose for this trip. I have also really felt the love of God here. For me it's amazing to see all of the beautiful landscape and the wondeful people. This has happened way to fast! I can't believe that we only have 2 more days here. I love this place so much. I thank you all for your prayers they help like you ouldn't believe.
AliciAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Hi everybody at home!! No, I don't really miss you, at least not yet! This trip is coming to an end waaaaaaaay too fast. I don't even know where to start. I am just amazed at how much my devotions have come alive for me this week. Every morning I've come outside, just to read my Bible and spend some time with God. This morning we went up on a hill just about three blocks from Brenda's place, and did our devotions up there. That was amazing! I just felt God so close. It was awesome. The orphanage yesterday was also really cool. Those kids were sooooo sweet! I've just really felt God's presence during this week, and have been blessed by growing a lot closer to our team. Luv you all a lot, and thank you sooooo much for praying for me. God bless!
CaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaRLiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiE!!!!
Man, I am having the time of my life! Wow, what a trip, I am so pumped to be here, and the time coming to go home is coming way too fast. So far the highlight of my week is the orphanage...probably what most people say. But those kids were absolutely a blessing to my life. They showed me so much love, and I am so grateful for what they did in my life. Devotions have been going great this week. Today we headed up to a mountain, and looked over San Carlos. It was absolutely gorgeous, and totally showed how beautiful God is. Devotions have been focusing on the love of God and loving one another. It has been really challenging to myself personally. Just to let you all know that I am as red as a tomato apparently. At least that is what the pastor said to me today. That is pretty much what everyone says to me that sees me. Thanks for all your prayers...they are very much appreciated, and I am having a rockin' awesome time!
