Day Three - Blake and Aaron!

 Blake and Aaron-

This morning we had the privilege to go to a drug rehabilitation center run by Pastor Chain. He runs the center with zero help from the government because of his incredible emphasis on the importance of Scripture and things of the Lord. Four of us were given the chance to share a little bit about ourselves with the people being helped there in addition to why we chose to come. 

After that, Dr. Daniel gave an incredible message out of the story of Nehemiah by speaking about the walls that are broken down around us by sin, leaving us helpless and ashamed, and how Jesus can help us build those walls up. 

As always, Pastor Tito was incredible and translated for us, in addition to loving the residents well by asking them questions. One young man named Luis shared a little about himself and the fact that he was not a believer but that he was moved by Dr. Daniel's lesson. He gave his life to Christ then and there, and we hope that you will join us in praying that he would continue in his faith. Pastor Chain gave us a tour of the small facility and his pride in what God had been able to accomplish was evident, especially in the stories he shared of transformations he had witnessed. Just like Pastor Tito, his love for people was inspiring.

This afternoon, we headed up to a waterfall to just hang out and enjoy each others company. It was a great experience where we jumped off a couple ledges into the water, stood under the waterfall, and even got to see a pretty big snake under the waterfall. We also enjoyed the company of some locals that we there, one even picked up the snake and was messing with it.

 Overall the experience was really fun and we had great community and conversations the entire time, will most likely be one of the top highlights of the week.
