Gloria's House

On Tuesday after Spanish class, we all headed out to a poor area of Lima to help out a friend, Gloria, and her three kids - check out the video!

The three guys in the video are John Mark (one of the missionaries here, who grew up in Thailand - he's using his Thai-English in this video), Mark (another missionary here, who is in the yellow shirt) and Wes (another missionary here, who is in the maroon). Did I mention they're all three Aggies?? WHOOP!

All of our legs were shaking by the end of the afternoon! Ok, actually, let's be real - they were shaking after 30 minutes. I'm humbled when I think about the powerful God we serve. A God that IS our strength. A God that provides, whether it be bricks and sand for a house, or more energy to climb stairs, or a ride from an empty truck. He provides strength and He provides rest

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength" - 1 Corinthians 1:25

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" - Matthew 11:28
