After the completion of day one each group collectively saw around 160 patients. They came in exuberated and excited about the day they completed. They were tired but it was a very good tired with a lot of amazing stories. I had several friends come into the pulperia and gift shop to share their stories with me. I love this part of the day when the vehicles arrive and folks come over to get a soda and tell me the activities of the day. I get to hear some God moments before we have devotions. This is what being here is all about. Mike and I get to see the joy and contentment come over our North American friends by simply working side by side with our Honduran friends. What a beautiful gift from God being here to see lives change not only for our Honduran families but for our North American families as well. Tiffany shared this in her devotional one evening out of Romans 12:2. In the U.S. we are of the world. When I come here there is a peace which is not from the world. The people here Tiffany shared take time for each other. They stop to listen and carry on a conversation for each other. They are not busy with stuff that is our lives back home. They may lack material items but they do not lack of sense of a spiritual being or they do not lack sense of community. Some folks even shared how many of us know our neighbors back home or check on some one who may be in need. I am not talking a text message but actually physically talking to them and giving them some of our time. Time is precious and we need to take the time to reach out to others especially those who are spiritually hungry. Thank you Tiffany for a job well done.
