Saturday

Saturday We worked 1/2 day finishing work on houses. Two couples were married. A clown came to entertain. We held a little carnival which was enjoyed by all ages. It was so much fun to see the youngest to the oldest in the village laugh and have fun then collect the little token toys. We gifted our families with the household items that we brought. Shared the love of Jesus. We were unable to meet the husband in our family as he works quite a distance away making bricks. He has only had his job for one month so it is difficult for him to get time off. It was our joy to remind them how blessed they are that he has a way to provide for his family and is following the leadership example God gave. The boys were only there a small amount of the time. I know they were in school some of the time but it was unclear to is where they were the rest. Pastors Mike, Benny, David, and Chuck held a baptismal service. All week in small group we built on the prior weeks teaching of salvation and taught the importance of following the Lords command for baptism but that it is not a condition for salvation. Three on our team and two Nicas chose to be baptized What an amazing experience Many tears and hard goodbyes to our families then back to base for dinner. Singing and worship.
