Worshipping in different tongues, but having the same heart...

WOW! Todayś our first day to work at the sites! Yesterday was such an amazing day! We visited the sites yesterday and met all the people we will be building homes for. The poverty was unbelievable. I´ve never experience poverty like that. But at the same time, the love and happiness of these people is overwhelming. We went to church after visiting the sites and Pastor asked us all to stand and they thanked us for being here. I couldn´t help thinking how thankful I am just to be here, and what an honor it is to be doing God´s work. Itś an amazing blessing that God has hand-picked each one of us with our different talents and abilities and he will use them all to bless the people of El Salvador. It was neat to see how we all connect a little differently with the people. It was so cool to hear the congregation sing songs that we sing at church but in Spanish, and the songs mean the same things and touch them in the same way, so cool! At dinner after church the worship leader and I spent like half an hour of him singing songs in Spanish, me trying to figure out what they were, and then singing together in our two languages! It was so fun! Well weŕe heading off soon for breakfast and then to work! Thank you for your prayers, it is such a blessing to be here.

    From Daniel: "How many houses did you build in 1 day? We got a bay blade (metal fusion) with the money you left us. We went to Kazoom yesterday for three hours and met some fun people. And we got crazy toys that light up. I like swimming.I'll make you an ice cream sunday when you get back(with chocolate sauce and maple syrup). I have dreams about you every night. I miss you and love you."
    From Noah: "I miss you and love you in my heart."

  3. Hi everybody! Hope your second day building went well and that everyone is healthy.
    Bruce- I heard the baby's heartbeat loud and clear today. I even felt it moving around when she was trying to find it. She said it sounded like a girl's heartbeat (!!!). It was great talking to you last night- I'm so proud of you and I can't wait to hear all about the trip when you get home. Love you- Andrea
