So, I have not blogged at all before today.the past few days have been amazing. for those of you who don't know, I am in social work in the tiny shanty town of El Gorion. meeting the people has definitely been an experience for me. today, Javier, Jen, and I just did home visits. It was really cool to meet some new people and get to know them a little deeper than beyond the surface. We also just helped by a pregnant lady buy some "Lamina", or tin roofing for her house, as it is being extended and she needed some. Much thanks to Ben and Jen for giving some money towards that project. Saturday and Sunday we were shopping in Antigua for most of the day both days. It was really exhausting having to barter for everything that you want to buy. Javier is like a complete machine. He would just say a number, and if they didn't go down to that number, he would just walk away and take his business elsewhere. I would just like to ask for prayer for the whole team that God would just give us strength for each day, and that he would help us to show compassion to the poor and needy around us. Peace :)
