Our days have been completely full and my soul has been filled up too!
We landed in Costa Rica Friday night and finally got to our location around 11pm.
Day 1) We started the day trying to go shopping but didn’t have time to get back before a wedding at 10am. We attended the wedding then went over to the pastor’s new house (his family is moving) and cleaned the entire house.
Day 2) At 8am we start cleaning and setting up for church, we attend church service, then go play soccer at the park and start inviting people to our upcoming English classes.
Day 3) We moved the pastor and his family from his old house to the new one all day, then prepared for teaching English in the morning.
Day 4) Setup for English classes at 10am. I get to teach English with Karen to the adult age group. After lunch, we cleaned up some classrooms to get ready for painting later in the week, then headed over to another park for prayer walking and got to play basketball with kids.
Day 5) Sabbath and what a great day of rest! I was able to just rest in the Lord and not HAVE to do anything.
Life has slowed down a bit or maybe its just becoming more familiar. Since our Sabbath day, we have had some great time together as a team. We are sharing all of our testimonies with each other and have had some great times of worship and prayer. I’m so thankful for this because as long as we continue to take time to be filled up with the Holy Spirit, we will be able to pour out the love onto others much better than doing it on our own strength.
Its time for some more worship tonight with the Youth group, so I will leave you with a video of the best example of overflowing I have seen here. This is how my heart feels.
