Indescribable

Hey All!

Yesterday was a scorcher, but our team worked really hard and finished priming 2.5 cottages. Already today we’re working on the last two!

After a very long day of work, a huge storm came in during our evening program. Although we didn’t get to play a game, God used to storm to surprise us with a very fun time with the kids and a great bonding time as a team. You see, we all ran back into the hut once the rain started (we were spread out outside in order to work on English in our small groups). Because we couldn’t play our game outside, we passed out snack (Chewy bars were on the menu) and then used the rest of the evening to sing songs (Mangos, This Little Light of Mine, Hokey Pokey, Pharaoh Pharaoh, etc) and pray. It was especially fun because the power went out a few minutes after the storm started so it was relatively all in the dark.

Once the caretakers said it was safe for the children to leave to do their homework, our team stayed behind in the hut and watched a spectacular thunder and lightning show for about 45 mins. The lyrics to Indescribable came to mind:

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go?
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gave source to its light?
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night?
None can fathom!

Indescribable, uncontainable, you placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name.
You are amazing God.
All powerful, untamable, awestruck we fall to our knees and proclaim:
You are amazing God!

Creation was definitely revealing His majesty last night!

God’s been doing a great work in our team as we’ve been there. Each morning we’ve had an opportunity to hear from one of the students about how God’s been working in their heart. It’s been a time of vulnerability, encouragement, and truth. His Spirit is definitely present among us as we spend time serving him with our hands, feet and mouth, as well as the times we are taking to be still before Him and allow Him to do His work within the depths of our hearts, minds, and souls.

We appreciate all of your prayers and please know that we are missing you deeply.

In His majestic Name,
Monica
