We saw some of the same people come back for second helpings of vitamins and pin worm medication! Others that didn't get seen yesterday due to the long lines. We had a family of Nauhatl indians. Only the young mother spoke Spanish, the grandparents and children spoke only an ancient Aztec dialect that was not even remotely similar to Spanish!
The church had a huge party for us last night. Lots of speeches and prayers. Beautiful gifts presented to everyone. I felt so blessed in the midst of everything. What a gift from them to us, especially considering that a couple in the local church lost their very sickly, 3 month old baby earlier in the week. Joy in the face of mourning.
I still feel like I haven't connected with God the way I expected. Perhaps my eyes simply aren't open enough to see the face of Christ in each and every person I encounter. I think also God is teaching me to be open to Him and HIS expectations. To stop projecting the way I think things should be.
Help me to see and feel you everywhere, Lord. To be open and surrendered to you and your vision for each and every situation.
