What stood out most in this team, was their flexibility and willingness for whatever, a great missionary attitute! Normally in every group there is at least 1 (usually 2 or 3) person who refuses to try new food because it may look/smell funny and there are usually people who start complaining if the work is done differently or gets to be too much or when the schedule changes too often. However, GRACIAS A DIOS, I did not have these issues with this group! Everyone enjoyed trying new food and looked at that as an adventure. When the work got difficult (as it frequently was due to the hard HARD dirt - more like rock) they continued to push through. And talk about flexibility with the schedule! They were willing to push back their free day to help get the job done! They were a huge blessing to me, not to mention the Peruvian church of Nor Oeste where they served!
The work was mostly construction, digging footings for the foundation of the church. The group was, as mentioned before, SUPER hard. It took many hours to get through little bits of dirt. But with the team´s energy, we were never short on laughs. We also visited small groups a few nights during their week here. This was a great time to get to know people from the church and community better.
