Losing
expectations is the ultimate understatement for this month. Last month was very chill. God did great things and we had time to think
about it. This month God has been doing some
great things, but there just hasn’t been too much time to think about it. I feel like we have been in a constant state
of go, go, go. It’s been great, but man,
am I tired. We did some amazing things
and met some stinkin awesome people. I
love this place so much and am so sad to leave it.
We were placed
in Portoviejo near the coast. It’s a
neat town with a great feel. We got
there and we were all staying with different families from the church. I was placed in a home with the music
director and his wife – who don’t speak any English. Just to let you know, my Spanish is shaky –
to say the least! J
I thought that we would be staying in Portoviejo the whole month, but
the Lord had very different plans for us.
We were in 3 different towns and must have packed and moved about 10
times! It was crazy. God showed us a lot about living for him in
any circumstance. I think that a lot of
us has expectations from our month in the DR that we would have a lot of
freedom and be able to have time to think and process things. And have ample time to meet with our
teams. The Lord definitely had different
plans for this month. We learned the
hard truth of serving God in the midst of busyness, which is so good, because
that’s life. Make time for Him – he’ll
open it up if you ask him to! I’m going
to do blogs on each of the places we visited throughout the month!
Also, pictures
are and will be available on my facebook!
Love and miss everyone a lot and sorry I haven’t had time to post
anything this month! J
