For those of you who don't speak spanish... that means 'Is the tip included?' It's a phrase we're finding very useful lately, and think about it...... When we are served by the lord...... and the bill is laid on our table....... is the tip included?
Anyway, while you figure that one out, let me tell you about our day.
We woke and had devotion at 7:00am this morning. Devotion was given by George Beck and it was on, focusing on what we leave behind. Scripture references were Matthew 6:25-34, Ephesians 3:20-21 and Corinthians 9:6-12.
The service this morning was just amazing. 3 hours of worship, music, testimony, communion and a farewell. Folks, let me tell you, it was special. Gary Garner delivered the sermon on being "Saved by the blood of Jesus". His words in English were translated by Pastor Carlos's son Jeffry. Pastor Carlos picked up where Gary left off and moved the congregation to an alter call like I have never participated in. I would say that 97% or more of the congreation came forward..... wow... such a powerful testimony to the sermon. God is good......
After the service, the crowd joined another building team from the Western part of NC who are here working on a new church in the area and Pastor Carlos and his wife, and we all headed to La Playa Hermosa....(The beautiful beach). We spent the day and after one of the most amazing sunsets... we came home.
Once we arrived home, we headed into town for a pizza baked in an authentic, wood burning, pizza oven. Yum yum...
Now we're home and getting ready for bed. There are 5 of us still up and once we shut this day down, we pray for peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams.
Our prayer for you all today is that you remember your salvation which was made possible for you through the blood of Jesus Christ. We'd also like prayers for the young kids who stole a camera off of one of our team members as he was walking home from dinner tonight. Photos of the trip can be replaced, the camera will be replace, but those kids need to know that Jesus is there for them, and they don't have to steal.
Tomorrow is a new day, and we have lots of hard work ahead of us. So we say to you all.... Good Night and God Bless and keep you.
Teammm!!!! I miss you all very much but can see that GOD is working through you and in you in a mighty way! I ask that He give you strength and courage to tackle that concrete today, and rest and peace this evening as you prepare for more work tomorrow! LOVE the pictures ... and the food looks GREAT - I don't know why i was worried about the food! :) BLESSINGS to each and every one of you! Ann
