Day two

Today was a great day. We started the day out by splitting into three smaller groups, and taking lemon trees to homes in the community of El Porviner and planting them for the family as a symbol of family. We explained to them that in order to grow this tree, they will have to water it, feed it, and protect it as it grows. The same for a family. As we raise our children we must feed them, water them (with living water, the word) and protect them, so that just like the tree, they will grow and produce good fruit. We hope that as they watch the trees hat we planted for the, grow, hey will remember their own families and do the same. 

 After planting the tree, we took turns and time praying for the family and for any special needs they had. I was wondering through this process, what my kids were thinking and getting out of the whole thing, and about our third or fourth house, While others were planting the tree, Ethan came up to me and asked if he could say the prayer for the family. He was getting it. I was a proud papa as he asked for help but led the prayer for the family. It was a neat experience.

We then gathered the group back together and went to the new feeding station that was put up by previous teams where we ate lunch which was prepared by local residence of thcommunity           ommunity. After a filling meal we began to prep for VBS. What a
