Here’s a quick rundown of what happened to us on Sunday:
- we headed out for breakfast at 8:00. We’ll be eating at the Halo Cafe for most our breakfast and dinner meals this week. A little scrambled eggs, some refried beans and plantain!
- then we went on a little historical tour of San Vicente, which concluded with a daytime chance to climb the clocktower.
-after lunch we headed out to meet the 12 families that will be receiving homes. It’s always a little awkward for everyone…until the games start. Laughter and smiles breakdown language, cultural and self-consciousness.
-we then went to meet two families that had received houses through our virtual (Nexus) teams. You can read Julia’s post below to get a sense of the impact that this experience had on her, on the family and on our team. This experience coupled together with the other family’s recognition of those from the Nexus team, reminded us all that being here, physically present is so important. It’s meaningful beyond tangible measure!
-dinner at Pollo Campero, a visit to Texaco, hearing the. testimony of our translator, Brandon, a team debrief and we’re getting ready to build Monday. Our day will start at 7am. Today we were reminded why what we will participate in, makes such a big difference.
Thanks for your prayer and encouragement!
Praying for you and your team as you bless these people who are in need.
