“Plant the good seeds of righteousness and you will harvest a good crop of Love.”
Hosea 10-12
On the first day in Puerto Rico, our team headed off to help out with a Vacation Bible School program at a church in Ponce, but plans changed slightly. When we got to the church in Ponce they ended up putting some of us in an elderly woman’s yard doing her yard work for her.
I was on the yard work team while others painted and helped run VBS. On the yard work team, we spend the whole morning laughing and enjoying time together as a team as well as working hard for the Lord.
Later on, we went back to Ponce on a prayer walk. We walked the streets and prayed for the police, the community, and different people we saw. The Lord worked in my heart specifically today when we came across a fountain that was trying to be filled, but not enough water was coming in. To me, that fountain represented the lack of love, and how on this trip we need to help people find the neverending love supply of love which is Jesus Christ.
As we continue our mission of spreading the gospel, I hope to continue spreading love to one another and to the people in Puerto Rico, that we may influence them in some ways while we’re here.
Puerto Rico out!
