Arising to our first morning, the sun met us with its orange rays through the mountains, reminding us of God's glory. A cup of coffee, a message from God, a ring of the bell, and we were prepared for a fruitful day. Today was our first day going on brigades in Tegucigalpa. We split up into two groups and spent the day at two different churches, each one about an hour away.
On our first day of brigades, we served alongside our Honduran brothers and sisters in Christ to meet the physical and spiritual needs and hear the stories of those whom we served at the 2 churches. We saw first-hand that there is no language barrier in humbly loving and caring for others. Later tonight, our hearts overflowed with Christ centered moments shared from the day, and we are excited for the promising day tomorrow.
The weather was perfect today - sun rays meeting our skin and a refreshing breeze to lighten the heat. After the brigades were over, we arrived back to the mission house to see that Peter Grass and the five missing suitcases had arrived safe and sound. We dined on a traditional Honduran dish called Tipico (literally translated as "typical" in Spanish), and it was delicious.
One thing that stuck with me today was what the pastor at Team A's church said; he encouraged everybody to be disciples and not churchgoers. We are praying for a similar zeal to take root in our hearts in the body of Christ.
