Sundays at Emmanuel are very special. You wake up and you can feel it in the air. The sounds of the children getting ready for the Lord's day is like so many angels hurrying about. You have to get there early or you just might miss something wonderful. The children are dressed in their nicest clothes, especially the girls. They are all so beautiful. The band and the choir get ready and the music starts to build and soon the place is alive with the sounds of praise for our Lord! I am always amazed at how so few musicians, choir and the rest of the congregation can sing with such abandon. I am covered with goose bumps as the Holy Spirit cradles me in it grasp. And today we had the great privilege of hearing Papi (David) deliver the lesson. I love his sermons! We don't often get to hear them so today was a treat. After church we got pictures of all the kids in their finest Sunday clothes.
This afternoon Allan and I spent with some of the older boys from the bible study group washing the staff trucks and karts. It was so nice to be with these fine young men. We don't often get to be with them because they are always working or are in school. We were raising money for a pizza party. It was wonderful fellowship.
Tomorrow we go to town because the container with the food we sent has not arrived. Don't fret, we are not starving. Their are too many wonderful cooks here for us to starve. They are so sweet to make sure we have something to eat! We should be find out what they will need us to help with this week as well. The sun is setting on yet another fantastic and beautiful day in Honduras. Till we meet again!
Blessing to all!
Chris and Allan,
