After breakfast today, we spent an extended time worshipping together and waiting on the Lord. Then Jonathan gave a short talk equating the excitement of surfer culture to how we as Christians should live. It was a cool parallel. After that, Mike Sawyer shared a devotional from Ecclesiastes on how there’s a time for everything, and now is our time to minister and let God work through us.
After the devotion time, it was work day. The guys spent the morning mixing and pouring cement for a patio, while the girls went with Alicia to a lady’s house to prayer for her because she had cancer.
After lunch, we got back to work on a number of different projects. Some of the girls cleaned the beach, while others painted one of the houses. Some of the guys mixed and poured cement in the driveway, while others helped clean up the pool patio. The rest of the girls walked the beach in search of small, decorative black rocks to help accent the cement. It was a long, hard day of work in really hot, humid temperatures. After dinner, we had the night off to relax and swim. While swimming, one of the students was hit in the lip with a surf board. He had to be taken to San Salvador, which is about an hour and a half away, to get stitches. Thankfully, the hospital had a plastic surgeon on call, who was able to stitch his lip back on. It was a close call, but God worked it out. Plus, Pastor Josh has pink eyes and was able to see a doctor to get some meds for his eyes. His total medical bill was $12.44, which is still unbelievable. It was also cool to say that a few of us have now been to San Salvador.
