The Power of Pray

I may not be an overly outward spiritual person, but today I witnessed the power of prayer and the gratitude of spirit. Today was, for the ladies, food distribution day. We went to a small village, Pampay, where we took part in the sponsor program. The moms were given spiritual guidance, the kids pictures were taken for the sponsor's and we gave out food bags! The bags contained rice, black beans, pasta noodles, oil and a few other items for the household. This will supplement their food supply until next month. The bag was smaller than a Safeway bag.

The gentlemen were treated to a quick game of football (soccer) and then started painting the top part of the school. There was even some computer training going on. It was a full, rewarding morning!

The school treated us all to grilled hamburgers, baked potatoes and tons of fresh fruit. They have been so good to us with our gluten and nuts concerns.

The afternoon proved to be just as busy with more painting (see pictures below), food distribution at the school and bible study at the community library in Parramos. Darryl, Doug, Chuck, and Wilson put on two skits for over 100 kids. They had only expect 30, so the piƱata wasn't quite big enough. (pictures) below.
