So in these two months (almost) we have been building a lot. Building relationships in the village of Bethel, building friendships on the team, buildng a house in Leon for our cook, Estella, buidling school desks for the school in Bethel, and building trust in God. Its been awesome. Building is never easy though and it doesnt always go according to plan, but if you knew everything ahead of time you wouldnt learn anything. So along with learning to trust God with the unknown, ive grown quite grateful of the unknown as well. You could maybe even say I look forward to it because its in those moments where I need to completely trust God that I get to experience so much of Him. And His plan is always sweeter. :-)
I cant wait to see what else God has planned for us to build here in the next two months...
This week is kind of an oddweek for us as we are about half way. On thursday we will be leaving for Grenada to spend a couple days with our field support for midway debrief. Just a bit of a break to recharge, get away from ministry to talk about what weve done and seen so far, and check on how everyone is doing. We also need to leave the country for a night to renew our visas, so we will be spending one day in Costa Rica. So please pray for safe travels, we will be taking public transportation the whole time and kind of on our own in a new place and that are time away will be effective and that we can continue on when we return.
Today, is also different. The team left this morning with the church from Bethel for a baptismal service. Its an outdoor water baptismal in a waterfall or a natural spring, im not exactly sure but i heard its awesome. I am back with a teammate who has a stomach infection and hasnt been feeling up to par. For the most part she is okay, but it definately drains her energy and has mild symptoms of being ill. And I have developed a rash on my chin, the underside of my chin and neck, and a small patch on my wrist, and a verrrrrrrrry dry upper lip. I dont know how to describe it better. Its just constantly dried out no matter how i try to moisturize that bad boy and the rash wakes me from my sleep and is very itchy. Its not a huge rash and is hardly noticeable, but its irritating. So if you could be praying for us both as well for healing, especially before this trip. We also we able to see our doctor today who prescribe antibiotics for my teammate, Allyson, and a topical cream for me. So we are very grateful for an onsite doctor and our gate gaurd who drove to town for our perscriptions right away!
God is still good.

He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
