Hola! Esta muy caliente aqui! (Hello!  It is very hot now.)  I am sitting outside in the compound where it is still way to warm to even think about putting on a sweatshirt.  Once again, today we were awestruck at the way God has been working through us to minister to these wonderful people.
                We started out working on the houses again – mixing cement, pounding in rebar, and all that jazz, but before that, we have devotions with our families we have been put into. I love watching the people’s faces and hearing them talk about “Dios” (God). I love being able to share this similar love with people who are so far away and live so differently than I do. Well, after the hard work we came back to the compound and quickly left again for a church where we did our presentation and then painted nails, did hair, and did crafts.
The children enjoy this, and I enjoy working on my Spanish and having small conversations with them. It is always hard saying goodbye, but once we did, we were soon crawling with children again. The second place we went was a small community. The children love to take pictures with our camera’s and love to have their picture taken.

After we did our presentation, we played with the children, painted nails, and gave them balloons- this time we gave them both dogs and swords and they loved to have swordfights. We sadly had to come back to the compound then. I love the children down here. The only hard part for me of it all is the language barrier. Thanks to all who are praying! Your prayers are paying off.

  1. You know the saying, Actions speak louder than words. I'm sure the love you are showing these people is just as influential as any words that can be spoken. Thank you all for loving the people who were created by the same God who created us in Montana!
