So I've got a little catching up to do. Bear with me...I may not make complete sense. It's my day off and I just got out of the pool, soaking up the sun for 2 hours.
Two days ago was our day of training. I was expecting something much more intense and intimidating. They made it sound HARSH. But it was great! There was A LOT A LOT to learn, but most of it is "learn on the job" type of stuff. On Friday we also played a lot of games to get us interns comfortable with eachother. It's funny...I've known these people only almost 4 days and they all already feel like close friends of mine.
The fellowship and community here is amazing. The Holy Spirit is already transforming me through the fellowship and edification of these people.
Saturday was the first day with groups!!!! Three groups arrived yesterday. But before they arrived, it was prep time! This means WORK! I mean, WORK! Now THIS DAY waas INTENSE. I literally scrubbed out about 100 coolers and bins for 3 hours straight. It was AWESOME! And I truly mean that. It feels so good to get outside of myself and get down and dirty and sweat and work my booty off! Around 4 or 5 o' clock the children from Imperial de Amor came over for a pool party. I was a lifeguard! Wooot wooot! That's kind of a scary thought considering that I hate even going underwater without plugging my nose.... hahahah just kidding.....kind of.
After worship, I went and got my FREE ICECREAM! Oh yeah...I won a game and got a coupon for free icecream at the tienda! Score! The rest of the night I ended up hanging out with a few staff members and another intern named Rory. It was neat to hear these staff members stories. And listen to their heart's passion for the kids down here. These staff members that I chatted with, Tim Couch and Ruby Moyer, have so much wisdom and love for Christ that I just didn't want them to stop talking!
It was also nice to get to know one of the other interns on a more personal level and hear his story as well.
Jesus is already doing great things in me in just the aspect of the fellowship down here. I've never known anything like it. These people better me, and propel me to want to search God's heart even further, just by hanging out with them and seeing the way they love God unfold in just their everyday actions.
Alright...well sorry this was so long! peace out.
