I write early tonight as it has been a long day. We are learning more and more about the people that we are helping. We are meeting their families. Hospitable doesn’t even begin to describe what they are to us every day. If it’s stopping by a road side stand to buy fruit for some of us or taking a different way to a worksite so we can see the best view of Puerto Rico from a mountain top to the ocean. They have fed us so much, we all fear we will come back heavier than what we started the with! More concrete work in the morning for some. Others will be sealing roofs and it is up in the air as some have completed their original jobs today. They just keep blessing us for coming but they don’t realize how much they are the blessing to us. They give so much more to us than they will ever know.
When Pastor Amy called me this morning telling me of the loss of Jim, our driver never said your friend. He referred to Jim as losing our brother in Christ. They often refer to us as their brothers and sisters in Christ. The last thing Jim said to me was that I would have a blast in Puerto Rico and he was not wrong. He was so happy that I was going. I feel so far from my friend as she is going through this. I hope she knows that we are praying for her and send her and the family love from Puerto Rico.
Sounds of Puerto Rico are different each night. Well except the Rooster that is pretty much up 24/7. Tonight is no different. It’s so peaceful and provides a good reflection time for each one of us.
