Puerto Rico Day 2

After waking up at a bright and early 6:45 am, we ate breakfast and headed to Guayanabo for our mission work. When we arrived, the kids were peeking out of the trailer windows to see us. We were given a tour of the church, prayed over, and split up (half would do construction/home improvement work, and the other half would help with a vacation bible school, which, only thank to us were they allowed to put on). During class today, we talked about the birth of Jesus and I helped translate/ tell the story in Spanish.The kids were so sweet and I connected with them SO well. I was allowed the ability to stay with the kids all day (skipping the construction work) thanks to my Spanish skills. The last hour of today, we went on a prayer walk. After each kid was paired with a teenager or an adult, we walked around, praying for things and inviting kids in the neighborhood to come to the vbs. it was so touching! We head back home around 3 pm. After we returned back to the Salvation Army, my mom and I snuck away to the beach (fully clothed as you can see in the picture below) but beautiful. After an amazing dinner (provided by the Salvation Army), we had a phenomenal, moving worship session and I reflected upon how not only we are changing the kids' lives, but they're changing ours just as much. God is so good.

 

Dana!
