Today was another great day in which the Lord truly blessed the students of WCC. He continues to shower us with His never-ending love, which he hopes we continue pouring out to the children of the orphanage.
This morning, we built in some down time for the students to get some rest. However, there was always stuff going on, and the orphanage had a large screen showing one of the World Cup soccer games, so the students were invited to share that moment with the kids. Those who didn't enjoy that went into VeraCruz where they continued to build relationships with the people there.
This afternoon was something to behold. We took all the children of the Casa Bernabe orphanage as well as they El Canyon orphanage to the local water park that featured several slides, play areas, and and children's areas. It was such a blessed time to see the joy on the children's faces as they got to run around the water park. So often we take for granted the fun times to be had in our own backyards, and it was just great to share this experience with the kids.
The night became really special when we welcomed a guest speaker to porch time. Eddy Morales, who is the international director for OrphanNetwork, shared with us tonight. Eddy is so encouraging in everything he does, and his talk tonight really showed us what God has in store for us if we just take his queue and follow. He challenged us not to "have stink" in our lives. He told us that we must pour ourselves out so that Christ may fill us back up again. He encouraged us to not stay stagnant in our walks, but to at all times be looking to grow. My favorite thing he said was that "God wants to use you and make a difference in your life, so that you can make a difference in a kids life!" Speaking from 1 Kings 8:27 and 1 Corinthians 3:16-19, Eddy got his point across.
Another truly wonderful day in the books. We look forward to what Christ has in store for us as we go to church tomorrow. As always, your prayers are encouraged as we continue on this journey. Have a great Sunday, and God bless!
