Wow - where to start? Off to the right is a picture of our view this morning as we went to breakfast... horses having their breakfast!Today was our first day of teaching the pastors and their wives about The Fear of the Lord. It went great! We discussed the difference between being afraid of things and a reverential awe-inspired fear of the Lord. They picked up on that right away and we spent a good amount of time discussing which comes first: Fear of the Lord or Love of the Lord. After our teaching, Josue Argueta and Juan Omar Lopez shared testimonies about how TPI is making a difference in many lives throughout Honduras and Nicaragua.
After lunch Jamie, Tyler and Dylan Graham led the men and boys through a Pinewood Derby race... from building the cars, to decorating them, to racing them down ramps they brought from the states... we had a photo finish (see photo on the left). At the same time, Sandra Reinbold, a professional hair stylist, gave lessons and demonstrations on how to cut hair. She provided the wives with a professional hair trimming system to take home. Charissa Feathers and Emily Bain provided pedicures and manicures for some of the women and girls, also. As if that weren't enough, Nikki Vohs provided massage instruction for the pastors and their wives.After dinner we finished the evening with an exciting round of Pictionary. Although the Norte-Americanos held the lead for most of the game, the Centro-Americanos eeked out a close victory: 11-9. Their prize was a Slim Jim for each member of the team!
These men and their families are special. They are dedicated to serving God through teaching others how to be leaders and teachers. We are privileged to be able to share time with them and grateful for the opportunity God has given us.
