When we all gather together






Ephesians 4:16 Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

When we all come together to work on different projects it's awesome how much you can see God work and how much more you can get done. We all represented three countries, Canada, Costa Rica, and The United States. Together we all worked to help out La Cuenca, by building bridges, teaching English and Spanish, building drainage ways, and clearing and leveling a future playing feild for the kids. Communication was tough but fun as we all were trying to understand each others broken languages and playing sharaids. It's hard to describe but I think when you try your hardest to communicate with each other you become more than friends because you put your all into getting to know one another. The other cool part about last week was to build a bridge that leads to the church with all the metal except for two peices come from the community.

We also interacted with the Los Lagos Church. We helped them with their kids ministry on two Saturdays, telling Bible Stories, teaching songs, dances, coloring and then feeding them lunch. Then Saturday nights we would worship and share with the youth group from the church. We challenged each other to a soccer game and the losers had to shave their heads. The winning team is pictured above. We built a lot of great and strong friendships this past week and I am looking forward to work with them alla lot more in my time here.
