Out At Sea

So it's been about 2 weeks since I have been here, and I have had some really tough times. Last Sunday me and my team went to church in the evening. While we were there we were worshiping and then the pastor came up to speak and then he dropped to the ground and died right in front of us. It was something I was not ready for and I immediately starting missing home. It was weird and I felt very uncomfortable. It was something I wish i would not have happened while we were there. But I look to God and realize that we were there for a reason. Me and my team went and prayed for people and just tried to comfort them during this hard time. Yes it was very hard for me but this trip is not going to be all good things. I know there will be tough times.  Even though I walk through the valley of a shadow of death your perfect love is casting out fear, and I will fear no evil for my God is with me!! Gods love will cast out any fear that I have!! 

So that was a experience that I never thought I would experience. We went to church last night and it was good and it went really well. 

So ships are safe when they are in the harbor….. But that's not what ships are made for! That really hit home for me when my buddy told me that. I am safe and am in my comfort zone when I'm at home in Canada but that's not what I was made for. At least not during this time in my life. But the thing is this when a ship is out on the sea and it gets really stormy and it's anchor is not down its going to be all over the place. I feel the same way here. I have to let me anchor down because when times are easy the anchor will hold and when times become tough my anchor will hold., and the anchor is God. So that is something I will always remember because it is a great way to look at thigs. 

So last week me and my buddy worked on a week thing here at the project to help with the water pressure it was realy sweet. Also earlier in the week me and my team went and fixed a road. Well we tried to fix it. Fixing it just consisted of us moving rocks and filling in massive holes. We will have to fix it up a couple other times while we are here just because the rain washes it away and all that fun stuff.

I would post some pictures on here but I always forget so I am going to figure it out then I will post some on here. I wil also try to post some on Facebook later today. 

Thanks again guys for all your support and I'm excited to share all my stories with you when I return home from sea!
