Honduras Team 2 - Day Three

Got up this morning and went to a village to worship with the people of the surrounding villages. They walk for miles to attend the service. No one complains about the heat or uncomfortable surroundings. They just want to worship our Lord. They asked us to sing a song. Sidney played the guitar and we sang. He and Aine then interpreted to the people what we sang about..."Sanctuary".

The neatest part was when Aine would interpret to me everything the preacher was saying. To be able to have her and Sidney there was truly a gift from God. After the service we went to the village and looked at the escuelas (schools). We have a lot to learn about humility and gratitude.

After lunch and a very nice nap at the missionaries´ home we then make the most difficult journey so far. We climbed to another village for evening worship. We were told 6 months ago the people of that village wanted a Baptist church. In a matter of days they had a cinder block building in which to worship. One of the guys their told us we were seeing a miracle in the making with the preaching and storytelling that was going on. Again, it was a joy to have Sidney and Aine interpreting.

As we left that service we took pictures with several of the villagers. We especially befriended a little boy named Berto. (Okay, we think that´s his name lol.) And Aine made friends with a woman named Irma. Aine made her promise the next time we came she would tell a story and Aine would give her testimony. The gratitude both villages had for us was overwhelming. We wanted to thank them for allowing us to be a part of something so special. They acted like we had done them a favor. About to head to bed as we have to leave the missionaries´ home at 6:30 a.m.!! PRAY!! lol
Tomorrow is supposed to be the most difficult climb, but we know God has placed us here and He will not fail us. Thanks for all the prayers, and keep them coming! We love you all!
