The Last

Our last full day in El Salvador was memorable, just as all of the others we have spent here. We attended an El Salvadorian church this morning. What a beautiful thing is was to see different people worshipping the same God in different languages. Our God is big, bigger than even religion, language, and culture.

From there we went to a market place to gather up some souvenirs! This market was filled with bright colors and clothes with much El Salvadorian spirit. It's customary to barter with the salespeople, but some in our group were better at this than others! Nevertheless, we're all coming back with some kind of momento from the trip!

We headed off to the beach and spent the afternoon swimming in the Pacific and soaking up the the sun! This day of relaxation with the team has been so much fun. There are always laughs and smiles here, especially with Humberto and Cat leading us. After dinner we reflected on the trip around a beach bonfire with millions of twinkling stars over us. The way God worked here, the meaningful moments we've shared, and love we have felt will never be forgotten. I have been truly humbled by this experience. Not only has the love of this team been encouraging, but the love and welcome of the El Salvadorian people. They received our love and listened to our message with great willingness and heart. Humberto shared with us about the importance of each person's role on this trip. Somehow, God used a group of people that hardly even knew each other for great things in  His kingdom. We are so thankful to Him for the work He did here this week.

We're a little sad to leave, but eager to share with you all the miracles we witnessed this week. We feel like we're on a mountaintop and want to remain there as long as we can. Danny shared withus that how we are feeling now and this life we've been living the past week is exactly the life that God wants us to have. Every act we've performed, love we've shown, and game we played is what the normal Christian life should look like. We won't stop sharing our testimonies and showing love when we get back to the US.  We will continue this work that God has began in us and pour out the living water of Christ.
