After the game, the head of their church came onto stage to give us a message. He was speaking in Spanish but had a translator that was repeating what he was saying in English so that we could understand. The passage that we were in was Psalm 23, so he read that to us and gave us some key points. ‘The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing’ was a verse that stuck out to me as we went through the message. He reminded us that we serve a God that comes to find His sons and daughters and He promises that He is the one that can guide every step of our life, no matter the circumstances. Their preacher even went into sharing parts of his testimony and how this passage was true in his own personal life. After this, we sang in worship for a few more songs and then moved onto dinner.
For dinner, we went into a room where a long table was set up with all sorts of drinks, snacks, and desserts. As we ate dinner, we got to get to know many of the youth, which was very enjoyable. I talked to many people, but I got to know four people really well. They told me about themselves and even taught me words and phrases in their language. After they taught me, I taught them how to say ‘Howdy, y'all’ and they loved it. It was just such a fun time of getting to know them and building relationships Before we left, we all jumped around and sang Amazing Grace and Praise. This was not scheduled, so it was mainly our team and a few instruments with us jumping around and praising the Lord. It was a very cool experience to look around and see all of these people dancing for the Lord with us. The Lord was definitely in the room and it was something I will never forget.
