Our word today was: Patient

Reading: Proverbs 14:29, 15:18, 25:15, 1 Corinthians 13:4, Ephesians 4:2, Colossians 1:11

Proverbs 

14:29 Whoever is patient has great understanding; but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

15:18 A hot tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.

25:15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. 

1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

Ephesians 4:2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Colossians 1:11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.

This morning we had a meeting on top of one of the buildings. We talked about our experience. Daniel, the president of Inca link gave us his testimony. He grew up in the neighborhood as a young child. There were missionaries who came to the area to help and they had a huge impact on his life. and here he is now. He showed us pictures of him and the missionaries. He showed us pictures of him and his sister, he talked about how most of his friends growing up are either in jail or on drugs. His life could have gone in an opposite direction, but since he knew God at such a young age and wanted to follow God, he is here. 

We had some reflection time. They had us write a letter to ourselves and our leaders are going to mail them to us when they get back from their time here. 

For dinner we had a cook out. Chicken and rice or we could have guinea pig and rice. I chose the chicken. We had our debrief and sang worship songs! I could feel myself starting to draw back tonight, I didn't write in my journal. Instead, I wrote, Chris, Nick, and Olivia each a letter.
