Day Eight: Monte de Salvacion

Mar.27.2013

10:25 p.m.

Phew! Up-and-down day. Was great though. With bad traffic, we rushed through lunch after continuing work on the compound. Even with rushing, we were still late for VBS. Managed to teach English and got some crafts done. Then we went off for our house visits before having dinner and going back to the church for the service.

So yeah, rush here, rush there. But that was pretty normal-ish by then. We visited some families who were affected by the mudslide and gave them some gifts to bless them. I just thought that it was pretty cool to see how they continued to trust God in the midst of everything.

Service went pretty well…

Okay, obviously, I don’t journal too much. But it was a great time. (Monte the Salvacion is the church name by the way). Definitely a new experience. One of the thing that I noticed was how there was no projector or screen. Everyone knew the words to the songs that the pastor played. One cool part was that we, the youth worship team, consisting of Josie, Martijn, Sarah, and myself,  and the group as a whole had a chance to lead worship for a little bit. We did Our God, My Redeemer Lives, and Happy Day with a Spanish chorus. It was just a pleasure and honor to have the Guatemalans allow strangers to be part of the service. Phil preached a little sermon about how Jesus is greater.

God, thank you so much for what you showed me thus far in the trip!!

One day to go!
