Adventures of Petunia and Reginald

Ah what a great way to end the night! Intense rounds of UNO followed by a group prayer in Español and English. Love that the Father is powerful enough to understand both and hear where we are all coming from. Tonight Debra, the owner of the coffee plantation, made hamburgers for us and potatoes. Well, actually La Morgan made the potatoes and they were honestly the best. Such a beautiful night filled with community.
We started off the morning with pancakes and spending some time in the Word. It was so funny. Mo and I were outside chilling, playing the guitar and reading, when Don Omar and Doña Fide came out with a box saying there was a mouse inside. We thought they were kidding, since they are always pulling our leg, but soon enough, after pulling out random gadgets from the box, a mouse popped out. Naturally this was followed by Fide running wildly behind swinging the broom. After losing him a few times in the cracks outside, Fide finally found him and gave him a nice swat. As Mo said, I "finished him off" with one final poke. Don't worry, we have pictures of this event, but sadly no video of Fide running around wildly.
We then went with Raf and Debra to the post office to try and send some coffee. We tried unsuccessfully to get around the law by saying we were sending 3 camisas/tshirts, but it ended up not working out. Raf then took a turn into the ice cream shop where we were treated with ice cream and quesillos. When we arrived back at the team house, we tried to stuff down some lunch, but we were already pretty full due to the "snack" we had just eaten. This afternoon we spent helping Fide clean the outside porch with water and brooms. We also rearranged the garden a bit to Fide's liking.
As Mo and I were enjoying some fresh coffee we both made, we heard some of the neighborhood boys outside. We went out to join them and of course another fútbol game commenced. Walter and Sammy were the only ones out tonight, probably because it had been raining most of the afternoon, and then it started back up at dark. Once the rain really started coming down, we retreated to the front porch where we played UNO for a while. We were supposed to have a Bible Study tonight with Doña Fide and the boys, but since only a couple were there due to the rain, we decided to push it off till tomorrow night. But I went and got my Spanish Bible anyways and read them my favorite verse. The three of us talked about God's abundant love and then went back to playing UNO. But this is so much the cry of my heart: to see these neighborhood boys really begin to understand the relationship with Christ and how much freedom there is in Jesus. Continue praying for the boys of Apante and that the Father would make His love real to them.
Love you all,
sb
Ephesians 3:16-19- I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his spirit. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
