A day with the ladies

 Today we had a day with the ladies of Mescallio. We had 24 ladies and 19 kids show up at the church. It was an amazing time of fellowship. We had a lesson out of the book of Esther. About how she used her beauty to help save her people. And how we can use our talents to do what God calls to do. 

We had music and sang some songs and did a craft. We gave the kids some coloring pages and a bag of markers. I think they were excited because they had the whole bag of markers and not just given 2 colors to use! I don’t think they moved and we didn’t hear a peep from them. 

The ladies made beaded bracelets. We had a crown charm to remind them that they are daughters of King Jesus. While they were busy putting them together, some of us baby lovers held the babies so they could have some “adult” time! Even if it was only for a few minutes. I love when I get to play with the babies. They are so good. And so curious. 

Afterwards, we got to talk and get to know some them. I saw some familiar faces from the church and from our community prayer walk. I was so glad to see them come from our invitation. 

Gloria is also amazing. She is leading the church until they can get a pastor trained. She is committed to Christ and her community. It is so inspiring to see her do all that she does and still raise her family and grandchildren. 

Well we couldn’t get out of today with having a rain storm. And today we had some crazy rain. It is July and it rains a lot during this month. It rained hard enough to fill up the truck bed to where we could go swimming. I bet if we would allowed it, those kids would be jumping back there and playing in the water! I probably would join them! Haha

And I can’t get out of coming here with my ankles and feet swelling  And having bug bites! It looks very lovely! 

This week has been so filling that my heart overflows. And the week still isn’t over! I know I am here for them and to tell of Jesus love and salvation, but I get ministered to as well when I am here. 

Matthew 5:16 let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven
