Some people said they were crying as I talked about the kids. People were handing out tissues in the audience. In the end the 4 minutes and 30 seconds wasn't so difficult to stick to. We only went over in the last service.
I was shocked at how many people asked for my link to support me as a missionary. We will see what comes of that. I feel very hopeful. The opposite of the way I was feeling a week ago when I thought I might have to pack up my belongings and move to the US. I knew that was not God's plan for me, but it is hard to imagine so many strangers being so supportive. Well, I guess they are really not strangers. They are my church family. I have just never met them before.
Another really cool thing is that a lot of people are now interested in a mission trip to Honduras. They want to come and meet the kids in person and see for themselves what is going on. I love that God moved their hearts that way!
Mary Goldring was exhausted after a really tough week, but she did a great job interviewing me. And the band even played my absolute favorite song, plus another one that I really love, so worshiping in all four services was nice.
I wish everyone could feel God's love the way I do today. It is still hard to digest, but I am doing a better job receiving than I ever did before.
