Good/ Not so good
Good:
Our meetings with Pastor’s have gone great. Each one of them
is interested in receiving mission teams to their church and I can see a great
partnership forming in the near future.
The other night while we were in the grocery store we
noticed some people who looked like us-Gringos! The crazy part is the guy had a
shirt on that said “smashville” (Nashville Predators hockey team). They are
from Nashville and their church is not far from where we lived. They too were
on a mission trip and happened to be staying literally 2 blocks down from us.
We spent a day with their youth translating for them and joined them for devotional
time one night.
We have gotten to know a family in the projects and have
spent a lot of time with them (full story coming soon). I think it has been a
blessing for both them and us.
Not so good:
We have made plans with several Puerto Ricans we’ve met and each
time it has fell through. I guess building relationships can be hard when
you’re only here for a month.
I’m not going lie, sleeping on an air mattress starts to get
old.
Even though there have been unfortunate or frustrating things
occur, I want to look to God and his goodness instead of a crappy circumstance.
God is always good, even when my world isn’t.
See ya in 2 days, America!
