Today we went off with our assigned groups. I went to Casa Hogar Douglas (CHD) one of the larger childrens homes. Victoria went to the Cathrdra, a poor community. At CHD, we stained picnic tables, layed concrete, and lifted up 2x4s. We also play with the kids. There was a little boy named Filpo who I gave a piggy back ride, and the rest of the day he kepted saying "giddie up Horsey". It was a blast! At the Cathrdra, they passed out food and clothing and also had a chance to play with the kids. Also there buse hit a wall... and they had to wait for a while till another bus could come. It did rain today, but we did get a break around 1-3:30. it was nice and sunny and the mountians were beautiful!
In todays message, I read Galations 5:13-26. and it states "it is absolutly clear that God has called you to a free life. But with such "Freedom' comes responsibility. "
It got me to think, God has given us this freedom not just to Love one another, but to help and care for another. and that is the true act of freedom.
