Wow!

Not much to add to the travel experience-the other posts sum it up!
The people here are incredibly friendly.  I am so interested in what the church is doing and how they work to help the community.  They are trying to show God's love in many different ways-nutrition, school supplies, transportation, housing, food, all while nurturing the spiritual needs of the people.  This morning we were able to witness 16 baptisms.  Most were young people.  And most were baptized by the people who had an influence on them spiritually, which I think is really cool as opposed to the pastor baptizing everyone.

In a few minutes we leave to go begin building beds.  We have been told that many people/children sleep on the dirt floor.  It rains often, so at night they try to find a dry spot.  I can't even imagine.  The best part I think will be getting to deliver the beds to families, and we actually get to seek people out that need them.
