The day today was filled with tears, laughing and tears from laughing.  A good summary would be to say it was Sensory Overload.  The day began early and stepping outside revealed many beautiful photo opportunities:

This is the view of the courtyard of our hotel, Dona Isabel.  It’s filled with vegetation and flowers, not to mention some of the local wild life of birds and insects

 

 

 

The hotel is surrounded by mountains and there is no direction to look without seeing God’s amazing hand of creation!

 

 

 

Included with the beautiful view was a volcano that decided to perform for us.  We get a great picture of our smallness in this vast world and universe that have been laid our for us.

 

 

 

 

Next we journeyed to the orphanage of Casa Angelina.

 

Nestled in a hillside, it’s filled with beautiful views.  It’s so great to see how this place has grown in the last 3 years including the addition of 3 houses including Harvest House sponsored by our community.

 

 

We began our time with worship and praise including 2 testimonies from orphans at Casa Angelina.  what a powerful witness to what God can do and has done!   Shortly after we toured the entire facility followed by visiting some of the local widows who have been blessed by this ministry.  At the end of our journey we had the opportunity to play with 80 kids currently housed here.  Truly a full day.

 

On a personal note, My eyes were filled with tears today as I stood in front of Harvest House.  The progress on God’s vision that he laid on my heart and others in our community.  I’m blessed beyond measure when I think of the smiling faces, laughter and joy that will fill this place!

After returning to Dona Isabel, we were again blessed with a home-cooked meal for kings followed by a great time of fellowship and praise!  I will continue to try to include as many pictures as I am able.  I’m left with the thought, What a might God we serve!!
