It is always a great encouragement for us to have teams. Not
only do they bring excitement for the experience of being in a new place, but
also a spiritual spirit of encouragement. There are so many incredible families
that we come into contact with each day that it is a special gift to be able to
introduce volunteers to these people and have them share their lives with them.
It is unforgettable for all involved, as many of you know who have been on
mission trips.
This past week we had a group of volunteers that had come
the year before to practice English with some of our English students as well
as install stoves. It is a powerful group of believers who have left the Mormon
Church and are now Christ-following Christians. We installed 7 stoves
altogether, and one specifically for tortillas for “Mama Lola” who has the
tortilla and tayuyo business. What is great about this group, one of the women
in particular, is that they love to share with the families. We spent a lot of
time in each home as well as during lunches (which are prepared in homes in the
communities with our families) just talking with them and exchanging stories of
God’s love and inspiration in our lives. It is such a beautiful thing!
