We have spent the past week or so working with a pastor named Adalina at her church in Trinidad.  Trinidad is somewhat primitive and has a western/cowboy feel…boots, hats, people riding horses around town, the whole shebang.  We even witnessed the wrangling and slaughtering of a cow the other day (video to come soon).  Our days have consisted of quite a bit of down time, which has taken some getting used to, and our nights have been spent participating in the church services through music, drama, messages, and prayer.  Many in the congregation are children, so we have done a lot of playing with and loving on them.  Adalina

This past week we have also had a chance to really start getting to know one another as a team and are working on figuring out just how communitiy living and unity as a team works given our various personalities and needs.
