The village day 3

Bom Dia!  Sorry for the delay in updating our blog.  It has been such a full few days that we haven't had the time to really sit down and write. 

 

We are on our 4th and last full day of ministry and I feel like we are all in agreement that we don't want to leave.  We have visited a new village every day and even though they are all relatively close together, they each have their own unique 'feel' and demeanor to them.  The first village was probably the most unsure of us, the 2nd one was extremely welcoming, the 3rd was full of excitement, and our 4th is definitely the most interesting.  We are learning so much about their culture and some of the battles that they're dealing with in their community. 

 

It's hard to believe that we are almost done with our trip - I think we are all struggling with the concept that we will be leaving this beautiful place to head back to reality.  None of us will be the same after this trip - we have seen some of the most beautiful faces and have gotten to be a part of God's great calling.  The team has really bonded and new friendships have definitely been formed. 

 

We don't want to get into too many of the details of the trip because we know that we'll want to tell you all the fun things in person, but one thing we will say - it is crazy to really grasp that although we may not speak the same language, and our way of living is completely different, we have met people that we will one day get to worship with in Heaven. 

 

We'll try and write once more, but don't freak out if we don't.  We are excited to share with you our experiences and are so appreciative of your prayers while we're here. 

 

For His Glory,
The Village Team
