"You never know as far as you can go until you run"

Day two is now complete and what a day it was. The plan was to travel to Barquisimeto, VZ and eating lunch along the way. One thing I have learned so far on this trip is that surprises are part of everyday life. Overall our drive was suppose to take 4 hours. Little did we know that with the perfect formula of traffic and poor weather, this trip would take a total of 9 hours. This ultimately was a blessing in disguise because this long drive gave our team the opportunity to gain new relationships and connect as if we have been friends our entire life. However, you know that when Dillon starts getting grumpy it was time to get there. It also did not help that every 10 minutes Steve was reassuring us that we would get there in 15 minutes...this began 3 hours before our arrival!

The lunch buffet was a wonderful mix of familiar foods and new exotic delights. It seemed the desserts were the favorite among all, but when comparing it to pickled baby potatoes, there was no competition. On a serious note the newbies could breathe a sigh of relief to know the food was good, much less edible.

We arrived at Seminario Weslinario around 7pm and once Stacy released her death grip on the seat in front of her we were able to get out and view what will be our home for the next week.

The evening concluded with a very powerful devotion led by Scott. The main purpose I took from this time together was to allow God into your life by freeing all negativity from your mind, free time for you to be with God daily, to stop harboring sin, and to welcome God's messengers.

Jeremiah 7 was used to get this message across.

We are excited that tomorrow begins with worshiping at Father Carlos' church. Also, yesterday's comment about Kathy having to be bailed out of jail was a complete misunderstanding, and used to grab the attention of the reader.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. And please continue to follow us with God.
