After arriving in Puerto Rico we enjoyed some pinchos (PR kebab) and Pina Coladas seaside.
Then spent the rest of the day getting to the other Pelicans that we are lodging and serving with. There are over 9 different nationalities among us.
Looking forward to seeing how God uses such diversity

We praised God at "Defensores de la fe la Nueva Cosecha" (name of the church that is lodging us) by being apart of the service and participating in singing some songs and giving our testimonies. We sang "You are my strength" and "How great is our God".

This afternoon, the team had the opportunity to go on a prayer walk in the community near the church they will be serving. Prayer walks can be intimidating, but your team had no fear in reaching out holy hands to the people of Puerto Rico!

Part of the team went out today and tested for high blood pressure and diabetes. We prayed for the people we tested and in fact a couple of them accepted God into their hearts. The doctors of the team gave some neighbors advice on how to stay healthy in years to come.

The team worked hard today to tear down the Pastora’s home that was destroyed during the hurricane. She shed silent tears as she watched a group of strangers give her aid after she had gone so long feeling unseen.

The team went to an elderly center in the county of Loiza and tested them for high blood pressure and blood sugar. The pastor and other members of the team prayed for the pains and illnesses and had spiritual connections with the elderly.

The team divided into three groups to do prayer walks. Some people opened their homes to them and some people didn't. Some accepted the Lord as their Savior and some rededicated their lives to God.

The team was in charge of the last service of their stay in Puerto Rico. They danced, sang and praised God to it's finest. The message was about the love of God that we recieve even if we don't ask for it.
