And what word can I speak? What letter can I write? In what way can I fully express it to you; that which I do not fully comprehend? The presence of God.

Listen and know that there is no greater pursuit than that of God. To know Him, His thoughts, His love, His desires, His Word...

What has a man to do apart from Him? What purpose? What plan? What end is there that does not originate from and find its finality in His heart?

My son, understand this one thing - it is your purpose in life to seek His face. There is no other thing worth knowing. He is the absolute desire of creation - all that is longs for Him.

Do not neglect this council. Understand that intimacy with Him is your purpose in existence. These words, take them and keep them. They are precious, my son.

I love you,

Dad

The luggage is here! It got here late in the evening, after supper. But it's here!!! So, now everyone is happy. My singing and playing guitar has been censored. I don't mind, though. Of course it disappoints me and makes me sad, but it's okay. The work today went slower than day one, but we still got much accomplished. I spent the day as sand filter-guy and cement mixer-dude. I feel that my Spanish is really improving! I'm spending a lot of time with Honduran named Sadi. He's a pretty cool guy. I've found a large amount of rocks to show Hermano Oscar when I get back to Jinotega. They are amazing! I can't wait to show him.

A day I thought would be easy - I was wrong. It got off to a slow start, but once things started up at mid-morning, it was non-stop. First, we went to the worksite. Wow. It is on the pinnacle of a mountain overlooking Comayagua. Literally "the church on a hill". Then we went to an orphanage called "The Refugee Camp". It feeds over one hundred kids every day. Then, we went to another orphanage called "House of Love". Though there are only twenty kids here, the impact on thier lives is truly tremendous and the story of the man who started it is equally compelling. I hace it on film. Then, after all that, we managed to squeeze in an hour of shopping and supper at Wendys (yes there is a Wendys here!) before going to church at the Avance Misionero here in Honduras. The worship was phenomally refreshing! So, I'm exhausted (What else is new?). And we start work tomorrow... I think. Oh yeah, I'm making a video documentary of this trip in Honduras. It looks good.
