Recently we starting doing our WOW’s (walking on water) this consisted of going out to different neighborhoods nearby and doing whatever the Lord tells us to do. Honestly it is a little scary! My group went to one neighborhood nearby then the one we live in. We did some prayer walking in asking God to lead us to people that we needed to talk with. In Libertad (where I live) we met a girl who was about 19 and she is AMAZING! We were actually just walking in front of her house and she came out to show us how to avoid a big puddle of mud on her street. (mud is a COMMON navigation situation) We began talking with her and spending time getting to know her. Her name is Karen and she watches her little brother Angel during the afternoons. She asked us to come back another time so that we could meet the rest of her family. This Sunday was our first chance to go back to meet them so we went about an hour before church (our church starts at 6:30) and we met the mom and dad! He actually spoke some English so it was fun to teach him and him teach us more Spanish. I was amazed by how welcoming they were. Their hospitality truly encouraged me! They immediately wanted to know if we wanted a coke and then the mom began to share her birthday cookies with us!!! The dad went on to say that “Mi Casa, Su Casa” and that His family is our family now! I was so blown away by the generosity of this family. The mom and sister and little Angel ended up attending church with us and it was so much fun! We introduced them to more people from their neighborhood that were church members and I believe they felt the Lord loving them! I am amazed by their service to my team! God truly provides encouragement and such provision! We thought we were going to serve them. How great our God is!
I look forward to getting to know her better and for my time in the neighborhood my team will be in the most. (el campos)!
Our team is getting closer and closer and learning a lot about living with one another! I am so grateful for my leaders and teammates!
