Praise the Lord for a great first week. We have seen Him do so many incredible things through the missionaries down here, and some of the stories are incredible. Hearing how God has been working over the past few months is really cool as well.
The other night, our group had the opportunity to present about 25 minutes of special music for a one year anniversary service for a new church. It was such a blessing to see how many people came out to celebrate the Lords working in that church.
I have loved getting to know the missionaries here - they all have an incredible zeal for the Lord, and also have a great sense of humor. Pastor Self and his wife are a great couple - yesterday was Pastor Selfs birthday, and we celebrated it at each of the churches, and then he bought really good ice cream for everyone when we got back to the institute.
Jeremy Estrema, one of the other missionaries, took a group of girls out to buy flowers for Mrs. Trainer for Mothers Day, and because it was so late, he took them to a funeral home, where they purchased flowers for 30 pesos. (we think they went and picked them up off the tombstones, but who knows.)
Praise the Lord for all that He has done and is doing. Please keep us in your prayers!
