Dinner In The Community

So on Thursday nights the teams go out into the community to have a meal prepared by someone associated with a ministry site. This is a great opportunity for both the locals and the teams to relate with each other differently than when we are at "The Ministry Site". Remember that ministry should be a life style and not just an event with certain hours of operation. I went with a group that works in Los Higos. Los Higos has both an education and social work site.
This is a picture of me and my mom riding in the back of the truck that is taking us out to Los Higos. Everyday the teams go out they ride in these flat bed trucks that have roll bars and benches built on them. They are an experience in them selves!
This is the couple who had us over for dinner and the others minus me. They are Christians. She comes to the ministry site and has been learning to sew. There is also spiritual mentoring that takes place. He works on a horse ranch. They were both very gracious to us.
This is the home of the couple, in the picture above, who hosted us for dinner. The parents moved and left him the foundation and half wall. He then did some repairs to the wall, built the wooden upper wall, and built the new roof.
We had a delicious meal of mashed green bananas and chicken. I know what your thinking but it was GREAT! It is like mashed potatoes. Yummy!
