(written Tuesday)Today was our 2nd day working on EV´s new property. Jenna shared a devotional in the morning about having JOY while we worked. As we split into 5 different groups, everyone had a positive attitude and carried her words with them. It has been such a great privilege working on the land. Hearing the excitement and gratitude from the children, teenagers, and staff of EV.
Each afternoon it is quite refreshing spending time with the kids, practicing Spanish, sharing our favorite things back & forth between our group and the kids. Being able to connect through smiles, laughs, a high-five, the simple Bible stories that are told during ¨activity¨ time.
Tonight we also had the opportunity to be a part of EV´s staff worship & prayer meeting. I loved watching the desperation in each face for more of God. Hearing how God is moving in & through each of their lives in many ways - serving the same Lord, serving the same dream, fighting for the same children.
Often when I travel oversees, I feel like I am touched more by the people than I am able to serve them. However, it was very encouraging when the staff of EV went around and prayed for each of us Gate members. One lady said that she is very thankful for our presence, the smiles & care that is given as we walk into the home everyday. The team & I are very grateful for your support, prayers & the opportunity to give & receive here in Puebla. :)
