After a whirlwind of a weekend, we are very thankful to have a "quiet day". Today is our work day. We've been working all morning at the school - painting, repairing the roof, and a few other odds and ends things.
This afternoon, we move to the school to stay for the remainder of our trip. We've been staying at the camp, outside of town. This is a good move... Matthew's and Dan's phones can get text messages out (and sometimes receive e-mails!) for our updates!
Everyone is high spirited and pumped after Speechless last night! It was fun to creatively pull off all the technical aspects of the presentation! If you were at any of the Speechless presentations in CA, you would know how lighting intensive some of the pantomimes are. Well, we found all kinds of lights (including some colored lights) all over town and made the show work! There were "light techs" all over the standing room only auditorium. Everyone hit their light right on cue and the effect was great!!! Kudos to all the actors, stage hands, sound techs, lighting techs, and all the runners!!! God was honored and glorified by all the hard work!
Alex, the young man that Matthew referred to on his text yesterday, is a 17-year-old boy that had left the orphanage and church about 5 months ago. Ramon, Rebekah and the rest of the staff had been worried about him and praying fervently for him. Alex woke up on Sunday morning, feeling a deep need to get right with God. He came to church last night for the Sunday evening service (that had stopped a few months ago - but Alex didn't know that), and walked right into Sin Palabras. What another direct answer to prayer!!!
In the next hour or so, we will be heading over to the orphanage to spend some time with the kids and to prepare for the first "Date Night" for one of the house parents. We are excited to be able to minister to the house parents in providing them with a meal, entertainment, and childcare :) We pray that they will be blessed and refreshed (a little bit) after this evening!
Thanks again for your prayers! We love you!!!
