Hola everybody! This is Grant Holdeman, one of Blake's team mates. As his team mate I have been asked to write a guest blog so here goes.

Thursday. Going into it we had no idea what to expect. We were told as it was activation day that we would have a teaching session in the morning and later would do ATL or Ask The Lord. As we began ATL they dropped our team, along with our translator, Aderkee (I legit love Aderkee) at a crossroads in a village in the mountains.

We were given a few minutes to pray and ask God what we needed to do there. From there we set off down the road that God had showed us knowing only that we were supposed to just be loving and looking for a specific kid in witch Aderkee had been shown.

As we walked the road we stumbled across a house. Open being let in we were given slices of pineapple. We gave our testimonies and found out that this family had a father living in Canada as a tomato farmer. We also discovered that the very house we entered was built by one of the groups before us. It was so exiting to know how much this family had been blessed by one of our groups so long ago. What made it even more special was after words when Aderkee told us how the little boy living there was the very same kid as he was shown by God only minutes before.
