One of the ladies wanted all of the members from church over to her house. The 19 Casa kids, my parents, Matt, Haley, and I started for the house a few minutes after 9:00. We had to walk a little over a mile to get to the house. When we got to the home, the lady was there to greet each person, and her living room was ready for us to worship in it. She had every chair she could possibly find in the room and some pieces of wood on top of cinder blocks to make benches for the kids. Everyone who could walk the distance came for worship in this lady's house this morning. Kelin and Karol still took the kids outside and gathered them around for Bible class while we participated in the sermon.
After the worship time, the lady got up in front of everyone and expressed how grateful she was that we were all able to come to her house. She prepared chicken and rice for everyone and bought coke and fanta also. I was impressed by this kind woman's hospitality. Sometimes it is difficult to accept the loving kindness of people who have much less than me, but I know that if they offer me something, they would much rather that I accept their gift. I learn so much from the Honduran people in terms of hospitality and of treating others like Jesus would treat people.
