Perspectives on Tuesday

This morning we had an early start packing up for the worksite, took us a little bit longer to roll out of bed this morning because of our back pains on Monday. Fortunately for us, this is our last day of everyone working concrete at the church. We were able to finish the floor to the church and were able to start cleaning out the driveway. The work was very difficult, but it was very rewarding. Micah and I were in the front of the concrete line scooping concrete into buckets. We definitely messed up our backs, but it is beyond worth it to see a finished product.

After work we had the opportunity to go take a siesta. Gabi took us to get some much needed pan dulce and manzanitas( bread and apple soda). Then we traveled back to the church in order to do VBS. During VBS we talked about Moses and the ways in which God used him. It was so cool to be able to talk to all the young people. During VBS we both enjoyed getting to run around with the kids and talk and craft along side the people of Tekax.

During our work today someone from the local government passed by and was moved by what we were doing. So tonight they sent a little train to pick us up from the church and tour us around the city. It was so fun to get to see the city, and to get to listen to some fun songs at the same time.

It was definitely a long day today, but we were thankful for the opportunity to do God’s work and we are so appreciative of all your prayer and support this week. At night we reflected with our team about encouragement and how to encourage each other. Most importantly we discovered how Jesus’ death on the cross had encouraged us continue working and act as Jesus would act.
