Today’s devotional consisted of the concept of seeing Jesus in people. This started the day off with a new perspective as we worked with some of the most spectacular Guatemalans. Throughout our work day, Jesus appeared in many various forms. When the 10 foot hole seemed almost impossible, he motivated us to keep pushing further. When our bodies seemed like they could take no more, he gave us strength. Later on in the day, the team split up and went for walks, doing what we do best- getting frozen bananas (every day). A few members were in charge of wheel barreling the dirt out of the holes to a back yard around the corner. As the rain started to pour, the ground and everything around turned to mud, thus making it extremely difficult to work in. The day ended around four, and everyone came back to the school. Overall Jesus was seen in everyone in every way. It is truly a wonderful opportunity for all of us to be able to experience this, and we could not be more grateful. Tonight is our first church service in our little town of Santa Maria de Jesus.

ReplyDeleteThe tomatoes in the photo look SO good! Not surprised to see Emme holding a baby; she seems to find one wherever she goes. Does the cistern get lined with anything? Andy wants to know if it gets covered with anything. He says "tell Sissy hi". I think about all of you throughout my day; wondering what you're doing at that time. Praying that those you serve will see God's love through you. I love you and miss you, Mom.
ReplyDeleteI am soooo proud of you Ashlyn, God is in all things we do and all around us when we look we see. Keep up the work for the Lord.
