Two things happen at some point during every mission trip I have been on…. One is the people you are called to serve reach out to you. The mission evolves from being a blessing to them and quickly turns to being a blessing to you! The people here have so little and yet will give everything they have to show you the gratitude they have.. They do this not just with material things, like taking a chicken from the yard to feed you some of the best sopa de pollo you will ever have, but also spiritually. El Salvadorians give their whole heart when they start worship, they sing loud and proud. They do not want to leave the church, they will worship for hours at a time. What a true blessing to see what worship should be like. The second thing which happens and one that effects me immensely is the transformation of members of the team. Both of these things happened today. We started early this morning with breakfast and an awesome devotion from Dave Thrailkill. The changes in him since day 2 are immense and awe inspiring. It is said that the quiet ones are the ones that get you and it was true this morning, There was not a dry eye at the table when he was finished. This trip will change your life. I wish I could pick up our whole community and bring them here for 1 week, we would be world beaters! Awesome!
In Him! Raymond <><
