It has taken me a few days to come back down to earth after getting back from Puerto Rico.  I completely fell in love with the people and the island. 😍  We worked hard and got a lot of things done, played hard and had lots of laughs, and basked in the encouragement of fellow believers.  Recently God has had me to study the church, past and present. Sadly, when you compare the average American church to the early church we are painfully pale in comparison.  But the church that I saw in Puerto Roco was not only thriving among themselves and in the knowledge of the gospel but they are also effectively reaching their community and loving the people they meet right where they are.  So Centro de Discipulado Mundial, I salute you. Thank you for your hospitality and for the memories that will last a lifetime.  I'll be back. 😊 Los amo a todos! ❤Emily Bush

And how shall they preach unless they are sent?  As it is written; "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" 
Romans 10:15
