After a wonderful breakfast (feast!) the team packed up and headed to the water fill station. We had 3 stops on the schedule today, with about 45 minutes at each to fill buckets and interact with the kids (big and small), and a break between each to refill the tanker. It was an amazing day - so many hearts touched, and so many smiles. Why is this such a powerful experience? Life is about connecting with each other at a truly human level. Jesus gave us the perfect example for doing so, and it is made real when a toddler "chooses" you and can't wait to give and receive your love.
These were some of the words we shared at the end of the day: joy, love, pray, struggle, continuation, faith, and gratitude. And, of course, WATER!
This evening we watched a slideshow of the pictures from the day, and the living conditions were striking. It was also amazing that while you are there, you see the people not their surroundings.
