Busy First Day

Today God showed us many things, including a monkey and cow that decided to hang out in the middle of the road and block traffic.

God's work has been so evident in all that we've done today. We started out the day with God showing the team that He is the one in control. The teacher at the first school we visited today was out sick so the school was closed. This enabled us to go to each house in the village to call the children, and pray with and witness to the parents and other villagers. How fun. We were also able to give several of the villagers In Touch Messengers. This is the first time the these villages/schools we are going to have been visited by missionaries or have had the Gospel shared with Him. We all feel humbled that God is using each of us to share His great love in such a capacity.

After finishing at the schools we went back to the place where we are staying and prepared for the Women's Seminar we held this evening. What a wonderful time of worship. In Costa Rica when they pray, they all pray out loud instead of having one person leading the prayer and everybody else praying silent. What a powerful experience it was to hear prayers in Spanish and English being lifted up to the Lord at the same time. There are no barriers with God, not even language differences. While the ladies were helping with the Women's Seminar, the men prepared doors for painting. All in all it was a very fruitful day.
