Let me start off with an apology for neglecting to blog last week. I was sick from being overtired during the week and I used our internet time rest rather than blog... lo siento. But after a little rest, last Saturday night was amazing.

                Our team went to a place called "Hogar Crea" for a community event. Before I extend on the night, let me give some background on Crea. Crea is a rehab program for men who struggle with drug addictions. Those living at Crea undergo a strict lifestyle until they complete the program. The guys from my team have bible studies twice a week with the men at Crea. Through the bible studies, many men have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.

                So last Saturday there was a big even to get the community involved with Crea. There were about 75 people there from the community and from local churches. The night started off with great worship music. Then the youth from another church, Torre Fuerte, put on a few drimes. (Drime, meaning drama-mime. It's a drama about Jesus done to music usually) Then our group did 2 drimes and I was the devil in one of them. Nice right? After the drimes, my friends on the team, Annie and Joe, shared their testimonies. It was a brave and bold move for both of them but God gave them the words and both their testimonies were powerful. Before the men from Crea spoke, we sang another worship song. We were worshiping in Spanish so I am not exactly sure of all the words, but the rhythm and message of this particular song were unmistakable. After about a minute of the song everyone was dancing around and a crazy Congo line got started ha ha. So everyone was joining the Congo and laughing until one of the ladies we know pretty well, Patricia, missed a step and fractured her ankle. Her husband was the person who organized the whole night, so when she hurt her ankle, he took her to the hospital and that pretty much ended the night. Despite the sad ending to a good night, it was still powerful to be among the community, and to see how we all contributed differently to bring God glory that night.
