But ok. Here we go. My second week was SO healing and encouraging. I actually was placed with two ATLs who were not around the first week. So they had no idea of the stresses and overall blegh-ness that was experienced then. I had to fresh ATLs who were an absolute God send in the ways they encouraged and supported me that week. I was so blessed and was able to just let the previous week melt away. God is good.
Highlights from San Fernando (June 22-29):
- The group was a bunch of hardcore workers who laid the floor of an entire church, as well as started a sidewalk on one side. ALSO, at the school site, they extended the cement for the soccer field, painted a classroom, and took down the roof of an eating area that was being changed.
- My BIRTHDAY. Well, kind of. I went ziplining, but then came back to a stressful situation.
- Even though there were lots of bumps on the road, my ATLs and I figured everything out and worked together to make everything work.
- Getting to know the host pastor and his family, who are WONDERFUL.
Praise God:
- For the amount of work that was accomplished!
- For the roof that is going to be donated to the school because of the extension of cement that was laid.
- For the youth that showed up to help work, even though they weren't members of the church.
- Gaining confidence in my position as trip leader.
Pray for:
- The relationships formed in San Fernando to continue
- That Ministerio Casa del Nuevo Pacto continues to be a beacon of light in their community
- The bus drivers to come to know Christ's saving power
Also, Trip Journal.
