Trust in the Lord

The theme for VBS this week is trust.  We were led in prayer this morning at St. Luke's and trusted in a whole bunch of people to bring us here, get our luggage here, .....  But all those could have failed somewhere along the way.  The Lord is the only one who is completely trustworthy and we know that He has something in store for us here this week.

Our flights went smoothly.  No problems with customs (though the line was a bit slow).  They let all of our baggage through.  Our bus was waiting for us and Tecca and Rolando loaded the bus in a downpour with extremely strong winds.  The bus driver did a great job on wet roads.  We stopped for a coconut milk (freshly chopped end with a straw stuck in it!) - for just $0.50.

The arrival is always the best.  Signs to welcome us.  Children who have waited for the return of their baptismal sponsor or just a friendly face.  They entertained us with some of their favorite songs as well as the traditional God Bless America.  We were fed a delicious meal with fresh beets from the garden.  We prayed and sang before the children headed to bed.  (And Doris even said we could sleep in tomorrow!  Maybe until 8!)

Pray for the town of La Paz to see the love of Jesus this week so that they may learn to trust the God who gave His one and only Son to come to this earth for us.  Talk to you tomorrow!
