Tortillas y Iglesia

Day 1: incredible.

When I woke up (a whole 12 hours after I went to sleep) I was hot... and felt like I had a permanent layer of sticky over all of my skin. But before I started to whine about it, I realized how insignificant it was. Out of all of the problems in the world, my least was that I was hot and uncomfortable. And that right there made me thankful, thankful for the chance to experience this kind of lifestyle and thankful that I have been so blessed to have the life that I do.

Today I learned how to make homemade tortillas! I was awful at first. I don´t know how they get those things so perfectly round! I got a lot better though, and they tasted amazing! After writitng down all of the lyrics to a few songs Jose had on his cell phone (so they could sing the english version), I unloaded a bunch of logs out of Mary´s car and helped to clean the house. Saturdays are pretty relaxed since there is no school, so it was nice to get to just spend time with the pastor´s family.

Tonight was church at Minesterio Rio de Vida (Mary´s church). I cannot even begin to explain how awesome it was to hear atleast 15 people praying and worshipping in spanish! It made me realize how small I am and how big God is. His glory and His praise spreads all over the world, in hundreds of different languages. People from all over are praising Him, and I am merely one person. Sure makes me realize how much I need God to accomplish anything. We have church in the morning again at 10 and we´re bringing backpacks as a surprise for the kids in Sunday School! I am so excited!

Time for bed... in this hot, sticky, and completely Christ-centered home =)

Buenos Noches.
