Wednesday - Day 5

This was our last day in Cataluna. It's always hard to tell people goodbye. They've worked their way into our hearts and it's hard to say goodbye, not knowing when you'll see them again. This day looked pretty much like the other days. We woke up and had breakfast at 7, devo at 7:30, left at 8 and split into groups. This day, the groups were 1)construction on the bathroom (still) 2)construction on the fence 3)Door-to-door evangelism 4)VBS meeting which turned into prayer walking. Then, we had lunch at 11:30, VBS at 1, Women's ministry at 2, and down time at 3:30. During women's ministry on this day, we washed the women's feet and painted their toenails. They really enjoyed the pampering. One of the women on our team said to me, you know, women all the world over are the same, no matter what culture they come from and what language they speak - they all like to be pampered. We had a great time and in the evening service, we had Helen N share her testimony and Nathan H preach. The presence of the Lord was there and Nathan was used. The kids got to watch a children's bible DVD. I believe they watched Hermie the worm. Apparently, that is some sort of Christian Kids video series. It was hard to tell the kids goodbye and to tell the women who we'd come to love the same, but our prayers are that the people of Cataluna will not remember our faces or our names, but that they will remember the Lord and His goodness this week. I pray that they will be able to look back on their spiritual journey and point to this time as a time when there was a change in the way they follow the Lord. I ask that you pray this, too - that the commitments they make won't be for a moment but for a lifetime of learning to love Him more.
