Virgin of Guadeloupe

Wowzers.
I think that word is the one that could best describe my emotions.
I am currently just sitting here looking at my computer trying to figure out how to best put into words all that has happened over the last few days. So many emotions. And there are way more to come!
I'll try and summarize. Cause to tell you the truth I'm pretty tired and have yet to unpack, which I'm not excited about.
The last few days of Peru were great. God blessed us with beautiful weather and awesome things to do. The plane back to Mexico City was the nicest plane Ive been in. We each had a personal Tv. Needless to say my eyes stayed on that screen mostly the entire time. . .
In D.F. (Mexico City)we packed it all in. Or first day we went and saw the cathedral for the virgin of gualdaloupe and heading to the tent for our first day. We spent the rest of our time in that tent (besides our free day)were we ministered to the pilmgramers (pelegrinos). We provided free food for them(tortas), refreshments (usually hand squeezed orange juice),Christian magazines to read, pills and foot massages (usually involving popping blisters). You would think there would be no down time in that tent but thane you are there for 12 hours straight down time is something you find quite easy. There were some frustrations with how the church went about evangelizing to the people but it was a good lesson to learn in that we now have so much knowledge (because of our previous 3 months) that sometimes we need to live it out when we don't have time to disiciple. If that makes any sense at all. Overall it was a dirty, messy, tiring, purposeful, stretching and eye opening experience. So many inside jokes came from those few days alone.
After our free day of touring downtown and shopping we went to the church to eat. God is so great when He throws in times of wonder when we least expect it. There was a missionary who came to the church that night (last nigth) named Adonnis. He is gifted with prophesy and He loves to use it in the Lords name so we had a (i have a loss for words here) renewing time of prayer with the youth worship group of the church (they were there practicing). The Holy Spirit was so present and God spoke truth into us through Adonnis. I love God and all that He does in and through people! He is such a personal God and loves to use us to reach others. He loves it when we finally get it. When we really realize how much He loves us. When we see how much He gave for us. That His love comes to us through His Son and the Crucifixion. He is extreme in the way He moves and the way He loves.
I'm going to leave it at that and talk about how weird it is that I'll be home in 4 days some other time. Pray for us as we work out this transition in our hearts, minds and souls.
