Hola from Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico!
We had a great Sunday! We started the morning by meeting our squads. Next was church at our local supporting church Iglesias Bautista El Mesias! After church, we all joined together for lunch. Pastor Victor lead us in a great message of loving one another and spreading the love of Jesus!
Later on, everyone who was assigned a job such as, Breakmaster, Chaplain, Medic, or Reporter for their squad, was trained. It is so awesome to put our youth into leadership roles that they thrive in! We are so excited to see what this week has in store for our squads.
Tonight, Rusty gave a message about loving those who are not like you. He made a point that Jesus loved those who others deemed unloveable. He says that as Christians we should do the same. What a great seed to plant in the minds of those who will be meeting different types of people each day!
Tomorrow, our squads will head out for their first day on sites! Some will be building roofs, painting, or demolition. They are all so excited to get this week started and help out Puerto Rican communities!
Please continue praying for our participants and Juana Díaz as the week is just beginning. You can also show your support by sending ServeMail to your participant! We hope you all had a blessed Sunday!
Your Summer Staffers,
Olivia and Claire
