Hondo
It’s been real hondo thank you for all the great memories. Our ministry and host these past two months have been amazing. We were blessed with the oppertinuty to be poured into in these past two months with so much wisdom it is increable my notebook on paper and in my phones is almost full.
This past two months we have been working for our host David. We were making and selling furniture I definitely still have stain in my nose from painting all of the crates and furniture everyone built but it was great. Out here on the field you don’t always have the time to slow down and think like I did when I got to paint. We also were able to help his wife scarlet put together a clothing store to help raise money for their ministry. It was great to see some of the result of what we did as well because he had lost a big portion of funding recently and we helped him raise 30% of what he lost. He also sold candy and snacks which definitely paid off because I am literally addicted to sugar.
Outside of ministry our setup and life was completely sick. One of my favorite parts of our trip had to be sports ministry. That’s honestly how we made the majority of our outside connections. We have always talked a lot about ministry off the clock I’ve seen this be the most effective even in Cambodia because it’s so casual and so much fun. It’s one of the areas you really get to dig into the roots of a place and see everything that is REAL in the culture.
We had been blessed with role models at our host home and adventures people coming on to the field. Shoutout to Matt for what he does and who he is. He would give us sessions every other night and pour into us as individuals as well as calling us to be greater Christians and just let alone people. My favorite part about him is he would walk in the same things he told us to walk in himself. He has a incredible humbleness about him and a great desire to constantly grow. As well as we had David. Who showed us that you can still be a great example and person but still have child like fun. He would shoot off fireworks with us and at us but would always drop knowledge on us and share a big part of himself to us and help us grow. I loved how he would stay close to scripture and try everyday to become less of his flesh and more of god but still keeping his spark and his will to live and have fun about him.
As for me I grew In a tremendous about of what I want to get out of god and setting standards and morals for how I want to live when I get back home and within those obeying god and his will for me. I have felt so incomplete and have felt myself stepping up into roles I never thought I could fill like facing my fear of public speaking and being the one to pray not only physical healing but that god pour into them and watch them carefully. I’ve seen less of myself and more of god everyday and I rejoice as god wants me to spread his love in all kinds of crazy ways and ideas he’s given me. All you have to do is awnser the call he gives us everyday.
