After 2 whole days of traveling we finally arrived in Luanda Angola Africa. I think there are 2 words that describe how this trip made me feel...blessed and humbled. It is amazing how little they have and yet they are soooo happy. The children there are awesome! They are so loving and well behaved and thankful...much more than ours are!!
We traveled to differant villages to attend services, but my favorite was seeing the smiles on these little faces of Gods children and showing His love to them...even if it was just stickers...they were soooo happy!! But look at this little girl on the far rt side so covered in dirt...how miserable would that be...but she was happy and she is loved
They dance and sing and laugh, everyone is much happier there. We have more convinience here and much more stuff but really i think they could almost be better off than we are...in the sence that they accept Jesus so readily...they want a purpose and they dont have all this "stuff" standing in thier way! We had some pretty amazing young inturpreters that were totally sold out to God and it was great hearing them dream and plan to move to america and go to college and then come back and totally reform their country...they have so much passion!
We had an awesome group of people that went with us. I am so thankful that God knows what He is doing in everything because i could not have asked for a better group. We all fit together so perfectly. And i have new friends that will last forever!!!
I will most definantly be going back...for these amazing children and the blessing that they had on me!!
We were also blessed with the oppurtunity to go to Paris during our travel there and back and it is beautiful!!
It was an amazing unforgetable experience that everyone should be able to do...to feel like you are right where God wants you right in the middle of the other side of the world and sharing His love...AWESOME!! They made us all dresses and shirts out of there UEBA material, which is kinda like the BMA. On this material there are 2 scriptures;
John 14:6 Jesus told him " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."
Psalms 133:1 How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony!
At one time the interpreters where singing a song in portugees and Eileen was singing in spanish and I was singing in english and it just reminded me of how awesome it is going to be when we are all in Heaven worshiping God in all differant lauguages...its going to be beyond beautiful! Thank you again for this life changing experience that was moved me even more to give my entire life over to Him.
