So today we started painting the mural on the front of the school. We have a surface area of about a three car garage. We started by washing it all down....which took a bit since it was quite dirty. Then we had some old murals to scrape off and then the primer. But today we actually got to start sketching. We prayed and got some ideas from God and felt to go with a theme of "creation." So we're doing a dark sky with stars that fades into a blue sky with a rainbow and cartoon animals and a beach scene and rolling hills and a very large elephant haha It will be very cute when it's done. We have been working with some youth team members from the city and it has been very cool to be abe to disciple them through our time together. They come with us to help translate or just do minis.try but we are very lucky to have had intensive training for three months previous to this and they have not. So being able to teach them that you can hear God's voice and how to follow God's call on their lives has been so uplifting. We have built many friendships here.
On a side note....please pray for oue team because as strange as it sounds, all 21 of us have been or are sick. The spiritual atmosphere here is very heavy and we feel that there is more at work than just the physical environment. My allergies are worse then they have ever been and I just got over losing my voice. We have rarely had our whole team with us during mini.try each day because of illness. SO your prayers are greatly appreciated! Shoot me an email and let me know how you are all doing as well! I love hearing from my friends back home! Love you!!
