Hello everyone, it is are last full day in Honduras. We leave tommarow morning at 7:00am for Tecgualpa Honduras. We will stay in a hostel there overnight. Then we will head for Granada, Nicragua on wednesday morning. I am ready to go to the next country. Some of my teammates have mixed feelings. But I know that we are all definitely looking forward to getting out more. We have been stuck in the house due to safety reasons. We will be at a Adventures in Missions base in Nicragua. It is a farm and AIM owns a nice sized piece of land. We are having what is called “all squad month”. Which means are whole squad will be together, unlike now as we are in teams of about 7 all through Honduras.
I expected that we would have months like this where it doesn’t seem like we have done much. But we really have. Ya we didn’t do a lot of evangelism and healing ministry, but it’s not about are will, but it is about His, the Lords. Really this was perfect timing for us to become close as a community of belivers and to love one another. Also to spend a lot of time with God. We said before we left that those were somethings we really wanted to focus on. Jesus said that they will know you are my diciples by how you love one other (John 13:35). Its like back home at work. If I start preaching about God but I show no grace to anybody at work, they are not going to listen to me. Also at home in your own household. I know its the same thing. Who your are around the ones you spend the most of your time with, is who you are. We got to challenge each other this month as a team which will really help us on our journey.
This month was hard at times for me. I feel like I am still dealing with a lot of the same things i’ve been dealing with back home. Not feeling accepted by God, finding it hard to accept myself the way I am, not hearing from God in a personal way. I know these are elementary teachings and I should have them engrained in heart. I don’t notice them as much back home. Although when your being challenged by your peers every single day it is a lot easier to notice them. There are other things as well but I don’t want to make this too long. I know I am going to have a breakthourgh very soon. I’ve been spening so much time with the Lord and have been crying out to Him and I know theres a reason for this. He loves how genuinely I desire Him.
It would be a crime not to mention how much we’ve been blessed by this family. They have taught us how to be served. Now whenever there are clothes hung up or dishes that need to be washed, I start to do the little things. It would be easy to blow those things off as unimportant, but they are important. The thing is I know they have a real relatinship with Jesus by how well they treat us. Also they do it with joy. They told us themselves, it’s something they love to do. The love of God doesn’t make sense. Like loving your enemies or letting strangers into your home at your expense and serving them because you want to further the kingdom. A lot to love about this family.
