Lots of joy in our hearts as we have encountered the Lord and he is on the faces of little children. We made the journey to Nebaj on for all practical purposes, a yellow school bus. Our journey as you know has been one that, before arriving in Nebaj, had been troublesome and the travels to Nebaj wouldn't be a lot different! We loaded the bus in Antigua and headed our around 3:00 knowing we wouldn't be there until at least 11:00, but again our students made the most of it! We were able to see devastation that was caused by the last hurricane here, and the results was many land slides that covered half of the road making many highways a one way event(and if you understand central american driving, you know why I call it an event!)
Our first two days in the village have been amazing! First day was filled with nothing but rain, but again, no complaints! Students have been amazing, using their spanish where necessary, and showing love where needed! As we arrived the first day, we were amazed as 200+ little kids ranging from 3-12 were all lined up to greet us in song. The most heart warming thing was when one of the leaders of the community said our presence was a prayer they had made for many years, and today it was finally being answered!
Please continue to pray for us as we pour out the Love of Jesus to these people of Pexla Grande. It is amazing to be blessed by these people and we pray that the things we do will be a blessing to them! |
