God blessed the team with a young couple who decided to leave behind their eighteen month old to come and serve their Lord. Did they miss Annabeth yes they did?!?! But God called Matt and Luisa here to Honduras to build Pastor Martin a home and to love on some other children with big brown eyes. They worked together and separately as well. But they both worked hard everyday. Matt shared as we were closing out the week his take away from this week is the word "simple". I need to simplify my lifestyle back home. On the last evening Mike and I encouraged this lovely couple to include God in the beginning of their day and how don't wait as long as we did to do this but put God first in your daily activities. There is where you will find the word "simple" and also the word pure joy which only comes from Jesus Christ. Luisa sweet and quiet spirit was refreshing as she was taking in all her surroundings and came to love these children very quickly. I shared with her I was so jealous of her fluency in Spanish where she could talk easily with our family and friends here. She simply smiled. Annabeth is so blessed to have two godly parents who want to serve their Lord in such a way as to go all the way to Honduras. So if you are reading this today and you are using your small children as an excuse not to come well you need to learn from this very young couple who sacrificed 8 days away from their eighteen month old little angel to go and find out how to truly raise her up with true joy only can come from Jesus. Thank you both for coming and setting the example for others your age.
