today was so wonderful!
paco picked me up and we called rocio on our way to church to see if she wanted to come with us. she was still sleeping and freaked out when we told her we were 5 minutes away...hahaha but she came anyways. church was great. we didn't sing that much because the guitar player i think got mugged and his wrist is hurt. david only knows a few songs on guitar so paco jumped in on drums and boom! we had an impromptu worship band. adriana sang too; she was great!
marta talked about the ways of God and how when our way matches up with His, we will be blessed beyond what we can imagine.
they always have a time where people share concerns or what they need prayer for...rocio stood up and told everyone she has her first boxing match this saturday and she asked for prayers for that! everyone was enthralled and all the little girls wouldn't leave her alone after the service...they had so many questions.
adriana and some other people made fish tacos for lunch...they're growing on me...
after the service we went to roca de salvacion to say hi. pastor cande asked me how my papas were doing...i thought he misspoke so i asked him what he said and he said the same thing. i think he's been reading my blog...hahahaha. it was great to see everyone there. all of his kids - eliseo, josue, caleb - anna, abraham, brian, saul from the work project, and lots of other familiar faces. i wish i could be in two places at once - i would love to go to his church but it's hard because if paco gives me a ride i don't feel like i can ask him to take me somewhere else.

paco speaks way more english than i though which is good and bad...we can understand each other better now but i'm not getting anymore practice with spanish. david asked me in church today what happened...he said at kids camp my spanish was so good and now it's 'not so good.' ha! ten months...things will change i hope...

his website is online! not done, but online. www.discipulandia.com. he designed the whole thing himself and it's incredible.

after that we went to the beach with a ton of people from marta's church! it was really close to gabriel house which was nice. they said it's one that hasn't been 'attacked' yet. i was the only white person for miles hahaha. we had to wade through a lot of shallow water before we got to knee deep water...i think it was a bay or something because there were no waves. it was so fun. we were tipping rafts, jumping people from behind, dunking dry people, pretending rocio's dog had drowned, and paddling inflatable boats in endless circles.

...an awesome day full of great conversation and wonderful friends.
