God truly just blew me away this week. Everything that I saw and experienced in this much too short week in Boise has encouraged me and reminded me of just how great the God that we serve is. I feel like everything that happened this week definitely can't be summed up in one blog post so I'll just talk about some of the MANY highlights.
- Working with Tyler, our incredibly patient, fun loving, awesome host and tour guide.
- Interacting with the refugees who, even though they had very limited English speaking skills, still made me laugh and smile and were just wonderful people to be around despite their tough past.
- "Making the bed" and "planting the seed" out on the farm and just sharing in the work with the refugees as well as being in God's absolutely beautiful creation.
- Car rides. Whether they were 15 hours or 15 minutes I feel like we were blessed to spend time together as a team in our comfy van and bond over singing awesome songs, playing Angela's homemade mad-libs or seeing certain people seriously knocked out as they slept their life away in the far back seat :)
- Cooking meals with the refugees. Not only did we get spoiled by getting to eat some ridiculously good food, but we also had a chance to break bread and learn from the Cg farm staff and experience many different cultures.
- Encouragement time. I was amazed at just how unique God made this team to be and how we each fulfilled a very different but much needed part. God is truly amazing in the way He orchestrates things to be absolutely perfect even if it seems unclear to us prior what our individual purposes might be.
Thank you so much for all of your support, prayers, and love for our team throughout this entire week. We have so many more stories to share so please feel free to ask us about it when you see us. And we'll probably be periodically updating the blog in these upcoming days/ weeks as we process through everything we've experienced. Okay. Tis all! Thanks! Bye!
