from Lisa G


What an amazing place.  I sat outside last night in stillness, watching the stars, and fireflies.  Listening to crickets, frogs, music playing, children laughing, watching lightening flashing across the sky.  God gave an amazing concert of sound and light.  Have spent the last few days working on the baseball field.  Shoveling sand and soil into wheelbarrows, hauling it across the field, raking and spreading it out.  Several of the children in the area have come to help.  They are such hard workers.  When the field is finished, I pray that they take great pride in what they have accomplished.  Have also been spending my afternoons helping out in the vacation bible school.  Working with 7,8 and 9 year olds is such a joy.  We have been sharing the story of Jesus and the disciples, “fishers of men”  Matthew 4:19.  In Spanish, “pescaderos de hombres”.  Am missing all of the important people in my life.  Can’t wait to get home and share my stories and the pictures.
