Alta's high-lites

This isn’t going to be a long blog because emotions aren’t easily explained in words and the things that we have seen can’t be recreated in writing. I just want to sum up the things that I have learned or experienced. I have seen so much injustice and I just want thank God for blessing my hands with the opportunity to help give these people a brief smile and many minutes of joy. I also just wish that when we all head back to America that we learn how to live with warm hearts and live with God being a base in our actions. Alta J.

Craig asked us tonight in devotions if we had seen someone cry this week. Every hand went up. Then he asked if we had seen someone cry every day. Many hands went back up. The last question was if we had been moved to tears since arriving. We are working with people in extreme poverty and difficult situations.

There is some we can do to help - food sponsorship, wheelchair, house build, medicine, school sponsors -  and some we cannot do. But we can share the message of God's love, hug them, pray for them, and cry with them. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Marcy
