Child-like faith comes to mind when I think of these special people. It blows my mind thinking of how much faith and life these sweet people have. They know the Lord like I want to know Him. They walk around full of the Lord's joy. I want that. There isn't too much of a difference from doing children's ministry to ministering to the elderly. They cling to you the same. They crave love the same. I hope when I am full of wrinkles and grays I am half as pleasing to be around as these people. They truly lit up my day today.
Tomorrow we will be doing home visits and inviting the community to join us for community night at the school. It is my favorite day of this trip every year. The kids get to bring their families to join us in some worship, fun, and laughs by Chagy's performance. I cannot wait! it will also be our last day at the school which might be a bit heavy on my heart. I have truly enjoyed watching my team love these kids this year. The team this time is made up of a lot of new faces. I can be pretty intense when it comes to my Nica family and I will admit to being a bit nervous about the amount of new people, but ultimately God placed them all on this team strategically and it has been a joy to get to see them love the people I love and do it so well. I stood back a lot this year. I observed so much. I am excited to see God continue to work here. I am excited to come back soon and see the fruit from the seeds planted on this trip.
I love this place. I love these people. I love this life.
