Joy in Service, Week 4

What a fun week! This is the first "repeat" team that I have ever experienced. This group was here last year with me too. It was so nice to pick up familiar faces at the airport. And as much as I love new Bolivia stories, it was a nice change to have stories that we had shared. This group has the most servant oriented spirit that I have ever seen. At the same time they have enough drive to immediately meet the needs that they identify. The next group is from their church as well and they are daily calling home with lists of things to bring to meet needs and finish projects. What a beautiful example of how the body of Christ ought to work!! "If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it" (1 Corinthians 12:26). If the mouth needs a napkin, and the hand is sitting in the lap holding one, wouldn't you expect it to move and give what it had? If it didn't, wouldn't you know that something was wrong?
