SO Last week I didn't have time to write much. but now I have a little more time.
The past two weeks have been so good. I worked with an awesome youth group from VA. They were so cool. They just had a ton of fun and it was a joy to be around them. They came down connected to new Prov. which is one of the things I have loved about new prov. That is how the connect and bring down people and get people started with Amor. it is awesome. Then this past week I worked directly with New prov. They are a blast let me tell you. They know how to have a good time and they have amazing food. I eat with them for 2 weeks and I think we repeated one meal. it was fantastic. and more then the food the people were awesome. The relationships I got to have this past week were so good. The people are so caring and loving and open. I just loved getting to know them and have a good time with them. I just can really put into words how much fun I have had with them the last two weeks.
The last day the pastor from New Prov. and one of the local pastors had a combined church service. It was the coolest thing. To see both Mexicans and Americans worshiping side by side and dancing and praising one God is so Glorious. The Mexican pastors wife got up at the end and said that when we are here things are so happy and promising and her neighbor hood is so nice but when we leave things get sad again. That really hit home for me. As much work as we do here there is still more to be done. It never ends. She said that one day they would break out of the 4 walls of there church and I believe that. That one day the local church is just going to shine. I mean it already is.
This past Saturday we helped out at a local church with there kids program. And man you can see it shine. The kids are loving it and it goes on every sunday, that is the church in action. it is not a once a summer thing but every saturday this happens and they love it. They have fun. WE had fun.
Then we had more fun and went to a sick luchadora fight. it was sweet. I loved it. we had to leave early and it was so not cool cause I wanted to stay. but what can you do. At the end as I was literally being pulled out of the building the fighter was getting into a fight with one of the people in the crowd it was sweet like WWF.
i am still loving the Nexus team. i have spent the past weekend relaxing with them in SD. And we have talked a lot and i think it will better the relationships with in the group.
Fun work site things:
- I have a chicken wire twister now so generously donated to me by Eddy from New Prov.
- I did a volcano cement mix with 3 bags of cement and 225 shovels of sand.
- I played with kids from the group and the home
- I spoke with the family comparing words
God Things:
- I don't remember what I have already written so it might be a repeat.
- You have to make time for him. I am in the desert in Mexico with Christians everyday. That doesn't mean i am spending time with him or it will magically be easy to do this. i can still fine distractions and busy my self with things.
-Which leads to point #2 the past 4 days I have been hearing or seeing from god this " be still and know that I am god". I don't know why I keep hearing this but I do. What is God trying to show or teach me? Do I need to slow down and make time for him? Do I need to refocus? I don't know but I think I need to do some thing.
- It is not somebodies deservingness of love it is my ability to love them just as I deserve no love but receive it from Christ. Big statement try it out. It is hard but it makes others feel dang good.
Prayer:
-Sarah has tonsillitis
-Ali has pink eye
- i have a cough after Sarah drank out of my water bottle (I dont think I that tonsillitis)
- Protection for grops this week
- Protection for nexus that we stay healthy.
I think that is it. I have 4 weeks left here. I am excited for them and I love it down here. I miss everyone back home but I can't imagin leaving here.
