Today we got quite a bit done on the work at the church. We got the walls ready with the main brace for to pour in the first section of the concrete on the back wall of the church.
We heard Pastor Elvis' testimony over lunch - WOW, what a dynamo he is and all that God has done in his life - just so amazing! Yesterday I had a chance to talk to him (albeit broken Spanglish) and he is so happy that the church is finally getting finished - but, now with that comes much responsibility - pray for Pastor Elvis and the very few adults (handful) that are in his congregation (they have mostly children (60-80)).
Also, today we played hockey for the first time with the kids in the barrio (community where we are building the church) and had a blast with the children. They were so excited when we brought out the equipment. Parents, teens, and many came to watch us all play. My heart was broken to see so many people from the surrounding families - many who don't go to the church in the barrio (more to explain on this when I get back!)
Tomorrow is a visit to the hospital and some will go to deliver medi-packs to the hospital - not sure if I'll be able to go - but if not, we'll still all pray that it will be a good time. Tony Bier (the doctor) and Jim Cochrane will be going and is looking forward to how that all works.
