To plan for 2011 at Casa de Libertad, we all headed out to the Coffee Plantation to focus all our attention on 2011. While we were there, Francisco gave us a tour of the plantation and we just happened to be there for the processing of the coffee.
Enjoy a few pictures!
Thursday is one of the days each week that we spend out at Fundaninos with the kids and staff there. The past two weeks Thursday has had a new theme of learning to cook something new. A two weeks ago, Carol, the director gave me an amazing Guatemalan twist on Chow Mein and this week, Maria the cook taught me how to make tortillas. Needless to say I’m having fun in the kitchen these days helping out wherever I can.
Yesterday (Sunday) I taught the 7-12 year olds during their Sunday School time. I won’t lie, normally when I’m teaching I get super nervous, stumble over all my words and later think of all the ways that I should have done better. Over the years I can definitely see areas that I have improved, and still to this day I don’t consider myself a teacher. I teach because I have learned how and I am reminded that scripture tells us to be ready in season and out. This time I knew it would have it’s added challenges in that not only was I teaching, but I would be using a translator, so I prayed specifically for those things and saw God act faithfully! Now granted there’s always room for improvement and I can easily look back and see things that could have gone better, but I can also say that it went much smoother than I planned or expected. I’m grateful to a Loving Father who pushes me out of my comfort zone and remains faithful to be strong in my weaknesses.
