Spent yesterday with a local church youth group and then participated in their Mother's Day celebration and service.
The church has been in that location for 30+ years and 6 years ago renovated.
The youth group was 25 youth (boys and girls), ranging between 8-15 years old. They meet every Saturday for a lesson, then games.
We talked about building you house on the rocks vs the sand. It was cool that even though we speak different languages, the video we watched was understanded by all.
We then played a name game and learned a local dance.
We then divided into three groups, soccer, volley ball or crafts. Of course, I went to crafts. Maria, Josie, and neille, taught use to croshie purses.
We were going to leave then but everyone wanted us to stay for the celebration, so they cooked us dinner. Chicken, pork and "the other meat" mixed with beans and peanut gravy. It was served over dry potato wedges. It was interesting and tasty.
The service was cool. Again, how we can understand what's going on because even though the language is different, the order is the same. We were able to sing some songs in English, that they sang in Spanish. Tyler, helped with communion and Sarah read the second lesson.
The hospitality was amazing!! They give so much and have so little. I wish there was something more we could do. But as they said, "God provides".
