lo que quiera

soooo! After a month straight of teams, we dropped the last team off at the hotel last night. We've got two weeks left here, an extremely bittersweet reality. Chris and Heidi are here with us until Wednesday and Spenc takes off tomorrow for Leon to work with one of Jorge's LivingWater groups digging a well until Wednesday. As for me, I'm staying here and singing all weekend at church for the anniversary. Then I'll be busy practicing for this coming weekend's concert in a city on the coast with the band from church.
This past week, as with all the other groups, was crazy busy. Their pastor and youth director both played guitar and sang so I got out my guitar with them some nights and we played for a good while. The youth director had the most beautiful voice so I loved just sitting with her and listening to all the stuff she wrote. Probably will be famous someday so I'm just waiting to get that first CD. We worked hard in construction. Lots of mixing cement, laying blocks, laying floors. Even after all the hard, hot days out there, I can still honestly say that I feel more blessed than ever to be here every minute. Even though it was frustrating at times, really hot, or just overwhelming, I wouldn't have wanted to miss a moment of any of it. I can't even express to you what a blessing this time has been on my heart and for me as a person.
We took the group yesterday to the market and ziplining for their tourist day. Everyone was exhausted, including me. It's a good tierd though. One of hard work and joy.
So now we're back at home. Dona Fide and Don Omar just left to go play baseball with their grandkids and just spend time with them now that there's no team. Chris and Spenc and Raf are headed up to San Jose to check on everything there and Heidi and I are going shopping. I have to buy certain color shirts to sing with the band this weekend because they decided to coordinate colors. Wish me luck :).

Two weeks! Be praying over the transition back. We love y'all. See you soon!

LOVE!

  1. Thanks for the updated blog. We know these last two weeks will go by fast for you both but know that there are so many people that need you here as well. God allows us to bloom wherever He plants us and I am praying for a peaceful transition back to Georgia knowing that God will be with you wherever you are. I wish I could be there to hear you praise our Lord in song. Be safe and know that our prayers are with you always.

    Love,
    Mom
