God answered our prayer, Hallelujah!!!

On our first build in Mexico, I was really focusing on learning how to build the house. I didn't spend much time trying to communicate with the Mexican family. I only nodded my head or smile to them, or say hello. Another thing was, I didn't spend enough time to practise my Spanish and I regretted it. That's exactly what we were scared about before the trip. As I mentioned in previous post, our focus is not to build the house, but to reach out to these people, otherwise, we will just be wasting our time. (At least that's what I think) In our debrief that night, we prayed to God to give us more opportunities for the coming days.

God answered our prayer right away the next day. We have a chance to play with the local Mexican, not just the family we were building for, even the neighbours came. Most of them were girls. We invited them to our worksite to build house with us. We played frisbee with them. The best thing is, we showed them how to make the gospel bracelet. Its amazing when we see God is listening to our prayer and that really build up our faith.

Our leader, Daisy, continued to pray secretly on her own for the following days. She prayed God to provide us some boys the next day. God provided us all boys the next build. Then she prayed for boys and girls for the fourth day, and God answered again. She shared her prayers with us near the end of the trip when we were debriefing. I didn't notice God was doing all this work until she shared her prayer.

Praise God, Hallelujah!!!
