A story from yesterday...
Emily Price--
"We went to a waterfall yesterday that isn't to far from where we are staying. It was a long walk to the bottom of the waterfall. We walked over a few bridges and got some beautiful pictures. Once we got down some people started getting in the water and more and more went in after that and by the half of the group was in and playing with the Nica's! We got so many pictures of us in the water and it was a happy time for everyone! God's work was beautifully shown at the bottom of the waterfall because it was sunny out with no rain and joy all over!"
Today was was our last day here in La Esmeralda! This morning we came together, Fox River and Nica's to share in encouraging each other. We had been given a name at the beginning of the week of someone we were supposed to get to know throughout our time together. We were asked to find an item that would represent the person that we had been getting to know and then share why we chose this specific thing with some word of encouragement! This was a precious time as we all sat and listened to what others saw in each other!
We then spent the afternoon packing up and hanging with our friends!
We ended our day at Church service. Seth shared how fear can so easily take over our lives and how the only way out of that fear is to give it all to Christ! Pastor Denis then called the Fox River team up front to allow his congregation to thank us and to say goodbye! This service always pulls on the heart strings as all the people we have come to know come up and give hugs.
As we prepare to leave tomorrow morning bright and early will you pray for us?
For the Hearts that are heavy with goodbyes, that travel goes smooth, and for those who get motion sickness.
We will be home soon, but first a day to celebrate what God has done with our Nica's!
Buenas Noches
