I know, I know, real exciting title Blake? But it's late and it's the most descriptive title I could come up with! Today was a great day in Honduras. After breakfast at our hotel we loaded the bus and headed to church together as a team. We attended a small church, but it was packed with people hungry for the Word of God. The pastor was absent but one of the staff members filled in for Sunday School and worship. It was definitely "spirit-led" and makes contemporary services in America look old-fashioned! We enjoyed worship and were able to learn about their culture through the service. While they may worship in a different way, there is no doubt that they love the Lord and love His Word. They were all very appreciative of our willingness to come to Honduras to help their people.
After lunch we travelled our last leg of the trip to our final destination in Saba. We will begin our drilling work tomorrow in a village about 45 minutes from the hotel. After dinner we met with the Living Water missionaries and had a quick lesson on drilling. Words were used that I have no idea what they mean or how to do what they were asking. I had never even heard of some of the tools he was telling us we will be using. Thankfully, Michael Moore was sitting next to me so I just nodded my head and acted like I knew exactly what he was talking about. Surely I can just copy what Michael does, right? Lindsey is excited about working with the women and children. They left it pretty wide open as to what she will be doing and her main job will be to form relationships with the villagers. She will do a great job (and it's a good thing she's fluent in Spanish!)
We head out tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. It should be an exciting day and hopefully I'll have pictures from our first day of drilling up tomorrow. I will also have some more details about the village where we will be digging. It is an honor to work with the missionaries of Living Water...I just hope I'm not the first person who breaks the drilling rig or hurts someone trying to use a tool that I have no business using.
Oh, and we were able to watch the UK game through Wi-Fi. Go big blue (you KNEW I was going to throw that in there didn't you?)!
What an exciting trip & ministry! Thanks for the updates! Praying for all of you!
