Day 4

Today we went to Nacimiento at 5:00am and rode up the mountain in pickup trucks. It was such a cool experience and the view during the whole ride was absolutely breathtaking. The village was at the top of the mountain and we considered it to be one of the prettiest places on earth

We got up early to go watch the feeding program and help feed the children before they went to school. In order for them to get their breakfast they have to learn a new bible verse and recite and memorize it. We thought it was incredible to see their love for God considering their circumstances. It truly influenced us and opened our eyes on how to love God more and strengthen our relationship with him. 

We both worked in garden today and it was way more wet than yesterday. Some were hesitant to get dirty, but we weren’t.  So we jumped in there and got to work. When we were done, we were covered in mud head to toe but the garden turned out amazing for the family.

When we were done we played with the kids and jump roped. They loved it and ended up taking it from us and wanting us to jump with them. Even though we couldn’t understand them most of the time it didn’t stop us and the kids from having fun. 

We felt the love from them through their smiles and happiness. We both agree this trip is changing our life and making our relationship with God stronger.
