Wednesday June 25

Yesterday: breakfast, quiet time, Teaching from Jorge about the Voice of God, worship together, lunch, girl's shower party!, Girl's after party, Chillaxin', dinner, team time (Driver talking and Mafia)

My journals got really short here for some reason. I just didn't have much time to journal. Jorge's teaching was really good. He is a fantastic speaker. The shower party needs to be explained though. In Maypuco, our shower was a piece of wood surrounded on three sides by a hip-level tarp. There was a well nearby and a bucket. So, at the shower party, we were getting water out of the well, which is a very muddy process. Then we just poured bucket of water on each other and called ourselves clean. The after party consisted of going to the church and eating snickers while playing paper football.

At night, it was really awesome to hear about Driver's life and I always love hearing what he has to say. He talked about how important it is that everything he does is God's will. He does what God tells him to...nothing on his own accord. If God tells him to go to the Leper Colonies...he goes. God tells him to live in Kenya for three years...he does exactly that. If God tells him he cannot marry the woman he loves...he doesn't. He is an awesome man of God that I have incredible amounts of respect for.
