Minstry de Pan.

So, this story is actually from a few days ago, but I´ve been busy and unable to get on the internet for very long.

On Monday, I went out with team 15 and we worked in a poor area. It was really cool to get to minister to the children there. We washed hair again and there was one girl that was talking to me about us doing that and she told me that it was a ¨very special thing¨ and she would ¨never forget it.¨ It was really special to me to hear that, and what was even cooler was that I had the priveledge of combing and braiding her hair for her. Good stuff.

As the team was getting ready for lunch, some of the leaders got on the bus, only to find that they had no bread. Yup. That´s my job every morning, to give the teams their bread and fruit and somehow I missed that team that morning. SOOO I headed out with one of our contacts from the area and we walked almost a mile to find a little bakery where we could buy some bread. It was no surprise to me for us to find that the store did not sell bread in loaves like we are used to, so I purchased over 50 small rolls to use for our PB and J. It was really funny. Then we had to walk the mile BACK to the bus, and this time it was all uphill. I decided that that was my ministry for the day. Bread. It may seem kind of trivial at first, but when you think about it: the team needed to eat and without food they wouldn´t have been able to do their ministry, so when you look at it like that the ministry of bread is a very important one. I´m glad to be able to be a part of those behind the scenes kind of ministries. But I also like the kind of ministry where we get to touch people´s lives and like the little girl told me--it is very special, and they will never forget. May I never forget either.
