Today was extremely fast paced becasue of the 30 baptisms and feeding the community on top of that. We started preparations as soon as breakfast was over. Some people got the food started, others prepared for the baptisms, and the rest did whatever was needed to make the day run smoothly. Unlike last year, the baptisms were not as chaotic, but chaotic or not, it's still amazing to witness and be a part of welcoming new members into the kingdom of God. After the baptisms were done, we went ahead and fed the community a meal of bread, pasta with meat sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans as well as cake for dessert. The band that played durning the meal was awesome and they even started playing in the back of Zayas' pickup as soon as they entered the foundation. After dinner the band kept playing which allowed us Americanos and the kids to have a mini fiesta to celebarate the end of a long and successful day. The biggest lesson I Iearned today was that God is always in control even when you think he isn't which was evident in the miraculous speed in which the potatoes cooked and by how well the community dinner went. We are definitely looking forward to a day of rest tomorrow.
