This morning, after a Skype conversation with New Hope’s Celebration Worship, we loaded up and headed out to the village. It had rained all night and continued throughout the morning. Worship was incredible. The children of the village sang a song in English that our VBS team had taught them. Our team sang a song in Spanish that our translators taught us. Jon, Jerry & Barbara shared their testimonies. Richard preached a great sermon. It was a special service to worship one God in two languages. Our translator, Kathia, laughed and said we were practicing for Heaven - one God speaking one language, Spanish.
After worship, we went to Pizza Hut for lunch and to the grocery store. We all loaded up on our favorite foods from the week. We really stuck out in the crowd.
Through it all, the rain continued. Late in the afternoon, it was decided that we should travel back to higher ground. About 6:30, we were on the road. We travelled 2 hours back up the mountain and spent the night at a Baptist school. This morning (Monday), we drove in to Tegucigalpa and back to the mission house.
Everyone is doing well. We are sad that the rain means that we could not finish the house or say "good bye", but there was no way our vehicles could make it to the work site. God is still in control. As the plans change, pray that we may continue to be flexible and in tune with God’s plans for us.
Grace & Peace,
Brian
