I was introduced to a little girl named Gabby and her mother Suzana. Gabby is 11 months old with the wisest eyes I have ever seen. I fell for her within the first few minutes of seeing her. Suzana gave me permission to take Gabby around and play with her a little bit. This was huge for me. It was a priviledge to be able to do this. Between language and cultural barriers, it was awesome of her to let me steal her daughter for a little bit. In this itself I was grateful. After making Gabby giggle and seeing her "walk", Suzana brought me a banana with a spoon and asked me to feed her. Suzana sat right next to me while I fed her.
This may seem so simple and ordinary, but I felt God so much in this. She was trying to get to know me, and she embraced me and my EXTREMELY broken english and loved on me anyway. I thought I was supposed to be the missionary.....
We have been in Cesy Tesin since Monday and we got to have some alone time on Wednesday. I got to spend some time with God and thank him so much for that moment of bliss. Between the calming city sounds and all of the random details that I couldn't help but notice and love....I was filled up yet again for more......
Here are some pictures of Bohumilice, Host families, and some awesomes from my team.
Loves.
