Sunday

I really don't even know where to start this post. What a blessing today has been!  The trip to worship at the Church in the Valley of the Angels is always a highlight of this trip and today was no different. It is hard to put into words and describe the warmth and joy with which we were met.  Likewise, you will never attend a more joyful and faith-filled worship service than the one in the Valley of the Angels. For me, the Sunday morning service alone is worth the trip down.

We were welcomed this morning with a serenade of "This is the Day" (in Spanish) by the congregation, followed by refreshments of cookies, coffee, and juice.  Service finally got started somewhere between 930 and 10.  After opening prayers, we were treated to a performance from the singing group from Baxter Preacher's school.  They were incredible!

After the Baxter group finished, Ray led 4 songs in English.

And then Carlos led several songs in Spanish.  Here is a snippet of my favorite:

And then Stacy brought us a very good lesson about the Good Samaritan (with just a little help from our interpreter). .    

Immediately after service, we were treated once again - this time with a wonderful lunch prepared by the ladies from the Church.  As soon as lunch was over, we set up for the medical clinic.  Our medical team saw about 75 patients this afternoon. We also gave out several food bags and many pieces clothing to the members of the Church.

We finished up the day with a little souvenir shopping and supper at KFC.  CANNOT wait to see what the rest of our time in Honduras has in store for us!
