This day was great to have some down time (pun intended).But this doesn't mean that we just relaxed all day. We all woke up at about 6:30 am, and headed over to Jeff and Wonita Werley's place for a hearty 7 am breakfast.
Being the only "Mexican"/Canadian on the team, I was very excited for this southern breakfast which consisted of burritos filled with ground sausage and eggs, good coffee and homemade orangejuice. After this wonderful meal we headed out to NTM's main office building and began a landscaping project which turned out quite nice by the late afternoon.
In the evening we were invited for supper at Larry (missionary pilot and mechanic) and Kim Dye's house. After another great meal, Larry and his friend Jason shared some stories and a video of their amazing and challenging experience on the missionfield in Venezuela. It was encouraging and refreshing to hear their stories and to be challenged in our faith.
Isaiah 40:31 says:
"but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stories and pictures every day. Your work at NTM reminded me of the work we did in Past Christian, Mississippi last year building houses for people that had lost theirs in the Hurricane Katrina. Hope you guys enjoy every moment of the trip! I do hope that you also get stuck 3 days in a snow storm, ha... good times,

What a trip! It has been fun following you these last two weeks. NTM looked like it was a great stop over! Pretty awesome trip. From north of the US/Canadian border to the US/Mexico border! I envy you. Isn't our Creator magnificant? I am looking forward to Michael's tales when he hits Washington soil again. Thanks for the ride!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches for your prayers! Indeed, we have seen a lot of really amazing things. From the snow of Manitoba, to the desert of Arizona. From the limitless heights of blue, to the apparently limitless depths of the canyon. It has been a lot to take in, but we are doing our best.
ReplyDeleteIt is best to think that even though we have seen much, there is still much to see. We have only scratched the surface in exploring this vast creation, and there are limitless possibilities in exploring it further.
Just like the One who has made it all!
