The Joy of the LORD is my strength!

Hello to all of you who are walking this journey with us! I should say goodmorning because while I am writing this you are all still in bed! We have been many days without cell phones or the internet but now we are in a location where we can send and receive emails but still can not make phone calls. There have been many adventures since we have last communicated with you. I would like to share them all with you but for now time is limited. We are currently staying with a family that serves the poor in the poorest part of the country. After driving 15 hours to the northen part of the country we arrived just before the sun went down. After a quick meal the father did not hesitate to take us immediately to visit the poor. Each person was greeted with kisses, food and a song. But the thing that impressed me the most was the joy. Each house we visited seemed darker and more depressing than the one before. With each story my heart broke but in the middle of it all was this JOYFUL man spreding the love of Jesus with a smile and a song. With each bag of food hope and with each visit life. May your day be filled with this kind of joy even if you are suffering. Thank you for joining us on this journey. It does help to know who is joing us by signing up as a follower. We will try and get more specific later. God bless you and keep praying for us! Check this later this evening your time for updates!
