Back home

I woke up this morning back in my bed, but felt very strange and lonely. I needed to be filled again with the love of Christ and prayer and quiet time has helped me remember God’s love and presence is still with me. In Bolivia, every morning started with the wonderful sound of fellow brothers in Christ praying in Spanish and worship music. I was getting used to waking up with my brothers and start my day surrounded by God’s presence. The Holy Spirit unifying us in Jesus Christ filled our mornings with joy and peace. Each morning, our English village was filled with brothers and sisters in Christ having quiet time getting ready for the day. It was very important for our mornings to start with the quiet time with the Lord. One of the missionary said, “You cannot pour from the empty cup”. Our mornings with the Lord have helped us to be unified as a body of Christ sharing his love. We were a big family of Christ starting our day together and sharing meals together. After breakfast we had our team members and students sharing devotion. Each morning we were encouraged by their love for Jesus Christ. Our team member Riah led our worship time in Bolivia. We worshiped together singing songs like Pure and Holy passion and In your name. After that our days were full with the English village students learning language acquisition skills and sessions after sessions of studying and communicating in English. Our time during Bolivia has brought us so close that 11 days in Bolivia felt like a month. I was very encouraged by everyone’s love for the Lord and their desire to follow God’s will for their lives. Miss you all from the English Village! Even when we are far apart, our presences are unified by the Holy Spirit. As we go on with our lives, just remember that our God's holy spirit has been with us always! Love you all in Christ!
