We woke up rather early this morning to go on a good run. Some of the kids really like running, but I had an ulterior motive: I wanted to see the town. So I went for a run and took some pictures. On this brisk hazy morning, the dirt roads under our feet, the brightly colored buildings, and the barking dogs at almost every house and fence was foreign to us. The town is beautiful. I felt that it was very short, however. What I mean is that most buildings are 1 story, or barely 2. It just feels short. There is a lack of continuity, and form which makes everything unique and wonderful to look at. I pray that the students are paying as much attention to their surroundings and that God is moving the hearts to a place of compassion and care for this place.
Take a look at some of our photos
Today, we venture to 5 different churches in the neighborhood to accommodate our size. By splitting up, we will be able to fit into these small congregations. The service times are all spread out through out the day and are typically 2 hours long with lively music and entirely in Spanish. We were told it would be ok to take our bibles and read during the sermon. Pray that this time would be God inspired and that we would reach out to the men and women of the community with respect and love.
So at 8:00 am now, we get ready to have breakfast, do our chores, and begin our day of Sabbath in Ensenada Mexico.
In Him,
Reed
