...quiet except for the sound of the pouring rain.
The kids are tired - all still asleep.
The other day, when we were in a remote village building houses, several things struck me -
*The gentle patience of our hosts.
*Jaelyn had several mentors that taught her to drive a nail. It took multiple tries to bring one in in 5 strokes and when she did, their was a round of genuine cheers!
*Sean, Sam and Louis spent a day and a half with a crew that spoke no English. By day two, they had become a tight knit roofing machine. They bonded fast - mutual respect, brotherly love.
One constant here is the poverty. Even our empty water bottles are coveted. People live in shacks we wouldn't use as sheds in our back yards.
God is reveling things to us here about Him, us and our hosts in a way that is only possible through immersion in the culture.
Thank you for making this possible.
love, jim
