Day 2
Monday, July 27, 2009 at 12:00AM We got off the plane and headed for immigration and costums. Everyone got through and all our bags made it no problem. We met up with Diarson, one of the translators and main guys of the church, changed our money and got on a bus for a good hour and a half ride. Yay for more sitting. When we arrived at Jundiai we unloaded and the bus at one of the host homes and we waited for our families to get there. I got to see a lot of the people from last year as they came to pick up some of us. A nice man named Edwardo came to pick up me and Cash. Diarson made a joke that he only spoke Japenese and I was kinda worried because he did look Japanese. He worned us that his english wasnt very good but praise the Lord he spoke spanish. I have been talking Spanish non-stop since we have been here.
Cash and I got to our Apartment and met Edwardo's wife and house keeper. we had some strogenough and salad, it was stinking incredible. there 2 and half woke up and we played fifteen races in Wii Marion Cart. I was passing out on the couch and they asked if we wanted to take a nap. Cash and I laid down and were out.
We woke up late and headed to the Saloon, that's what they call their meeting building considering they have house churches, and we gathered shared some things that have been happening since last time and headed home.
At dinner we had fondu and Cash and I shared with our host family what are home lifes were like growing up. They got a lot more from the both of us then they intended I think. I enjoyed sharing though.
Keep us in your prayers and please pray that we will reach the lost and not only that we can give them hope but that we can show them Christ love and how to live life to glorify God. Also, for me specificly please pray for some comfort in my heart and for some situations back home to be resolved for the glory of God.
Praise the Lord for showing me how to trust him whole heartedly.
