An Off-Day Turns Emotional

Today, we had breakfast at Horizonte Church which is always a treat.  We continue to enjoy spending time as a team as well as with our new friends at Horizonte.  After enjoying another great meal we split off on our own to find a quiet spot on the church property to do our daily devotional.  These devotionals have been a great opportunity for each of us to spend some quiet time with God and reflect on our trip.

 

After the devotional, we were all excited to find out that we had some free time.  While a few of us went shopping for Mexican pottery others headed into town.  Eventually we all met up for lunch and to discuss the plans for the next few days.  Lunch was an experience and although Julian had us all worried that the restaurant we selected might not be safe, so far so good – we’ll keep our fingers crossed.  After lunch it was time to head back to the hotel to greet our guests.  The staff and volunteers began arriving and we had a nice welcome before settling in for some conversation. 

 

Tonight was an emotional night for all of us as many opened up and shared both personal and professional burdens.  We decided to end the evening by praying in small groups.  It was a great way to end the day.  I think our team has been touched by the strength and faith of these wonderful people.  They have taught us a great deal in these past few days as we’ve gotten to know them better. 

 

That’s all for now; tomorrow will be a big day as we plan to celebrate Mexican style!  I know the team is looking forward to a friendly game of football. 

God Bless!
