Hey guys! Well, in case anyone was worried, we made it down here on Saturday night despite the little run-in that Collins had with an impatient driver on the highway. Don't worry - no one was hurt, and with God's help, the damages were repaired quickly and we were on our way.
On Sunday morning, we experienced a new and different type of service than most of us were used to. At Omar's church we experienced a special praise and worship service. Although the majority of the service was in Spanish and we did not understand the words, we could definately feel God's spirit in that place. Their hearts spoke to ours with their words and their songs. We felt their emotions and the power of God surging through the church. Although it was one of the longest services the majority of our crew had experienced (the service lasted three hours), we didn't want to leave because we were still hungry for more. These people at the church truly love God and yearn for His presence.
Today was our first day of work both at the construction sites and VBS at the community center. We awoke this morning to pouring rain and lightning storms. I was immediatly fearful that not only the contruction crew would fall behind because they would not be able to work, but that VBS would also be a flop because the children would not show up. Well, God obviously had other plans. He will provide; we only need to trust Him. The rain stopped just in time and the guys at the construction site didn't lose much time and are right on schedule. They have the roof up on the smaller of the houses, and they have finished the electrical wiring and the insulation at Omar's house! God is truly blessing our labor. VBS also went well today. We had 16 kids which was more that we expected considering the rain. The children are already warming up to us and seem ready to learn more about God. It is cool to see God working through all of the members of our team. He uses each of us and our unique talents for His glory. He is working not only through the adults but through the children on the trip as well. Pray for us as the week progresses. God is with us and is going to do great things on this trip. We are here for one reason and one reason only, to glorify Him and that is what we intend to do.
Thank you for your prayers and your support!

My prayer is that each of you would see daily the Holy Spirit use you to see someone come into the kingdom or to minister to someone to come into a closer walk with Jesus. Ephesians 1:17-22
