One day while we were in the village of Sapuena God showed up and provided what I needed. So a group of the team had gone to a house at the very edge of the village to talk to the family about a church service. While we were there we prayed for the man that lived there because he had some health problems. I had been having some doubts about how God heals and had been struggling in general with healings because they didn´t make sense to me and I didn´t understand why He healed in some situations and why He didn´t in others. So we were praying for this man when I started getting frustrated and irritated with the whole situation. I didn´t want to be there praying for the man because I was getting eaten alive by mosquitos and I wasn´t even sure if anything would come of it. As we were walking back I really wanted to be alone and be away from everyone, but it wasn´t possible because of our living conditions. When we arrived back to our rooms I went out on the side of the building to think and journal some. As I was praying and journaling a boy came up and sat next to me. His name was Eddy and he was 7. He wasn´t one of the kids I had met yet. So he came up and just sat next to me. He didn´t ask me for anything, he didn´t beg me to come play with him, he didn´t do anything. So I ripped out some paper from my notebook and made a paper whale for him. He really liked it so I showed him how to make one. Then he asked for more paper and made a couple airplanes. This story may not sound very significant or it may seem like nothing happened, but this boy Eddy was God´s way of comforting me and reassuring me. While I was journaling before he showed up I told God that if I needed someone He would have to send that person to me, and then Eddy walked up. He cheered me up in a way I didn´t expect and all my frustration/disappointment/anger went away. God reassured me that He didn´t want me to be frustrated and that He still loves me even when I am frustrated. Also, in my encounted with Eddy, he taught me the Spanish word for an, ormiga (although that may not be the correct spelling).
