Good News!

-
God is sooooo good! The lady we visited yesterday got saved! Praise the Lord. God is so merciful. When we arrived at a mountainous place, we got out of the truck and began hiking up th mountain. Wes was right there also, despite the rocks and thorny branches he was faithfully following God's calling. Wes found himself a cane (stick) along the way to help him climb up that mountain. When we saw the lady and her children we decided to rest there and they started a fire. And later they had a picknic, they made some "tacos", I have to say they were really good. The kids then got bored and took a hike! That was a great opportunity to talk to the lady without disturbance, although the kids were yelling pretty loudly. But the lady was so open, it's like God had already prepared her heart and was only waiting on us to go and share the Good News with her! She was really happy that we did! Afterwords, they accompanied us to the truck and we gave them some clothes and they were so Blessed. Their faces lit up with gratefulness! I am so glad I went!

We have also been doing some remodeling and redecorating around here at my Grandma's house. Cleaning floors, putting up curtains, moving furniture, sorting donated clothing, cleaning the kitchen every now and then. We also carried a stove to the downstairs of the house. There is ALOT to do. Wes has been trying to fix some christmas lights, but that doesen't seem to be going very well. Wes has also been learning a bit of spanish. He is like a happy fish in his fish tank here in Mexico!

That's about all for now. I expect some comments!

God Bless you all!

Without Grumbling

     It is a troubling realization when we finally see that our deepest desires aren't always pure and our intentions aren't always the best. It is often too easy to sink in to the ways of the world. Why? Because we live in it and its currents tend to tug at our faith. It is so difficult for me to admit how imperfect I am. I like to think I can do anything, though in reality, I know I am utterly powerless. It's only human nature, I suppose, but it serves me nothing to pretend like I know everything.      All this to say that this spring semester has left me utterly tired and worn out. I have studied and worked my energy out and toward the last couple of weeks before finals, my personal devotions that I've always been so fond of, diminished quickly. I became tired and at times, hopelessly unwilling to spend time in the Word and in prayer. Part of me felt angry toward myself about it, but the other part remained foolishly apathetic. I didn't know what to do, so I di

MISSIONS

-
Today is my lil brother's birthday... but we celebrated his party on saturday! I will post some pictures later because this computer won't allow me to. And my cousin, a little girl, was born today at 1:00 am. Tomorrow my aunt Mary and I are leaving for Yospi, a place up in the mountains, deep in the heart of Queretaro where the Ottomi Indians live... They are very poor people but very hospitable. My aunt lived amongst them for 2 and a half years. She was there as a missionary. She had to live like them and dress like them in order for the people to accept her. Since then they have come to know God better and there are now several Christians there and a church is up and running. God has blessed them so much and we still keep in touch with them. This week we want to go to encourage them to keep pressing on in the things of the Lord. And encourage them not to give up... because it is very difficult for them. Most of the people do not have a means of transportation although there i

Culiacan, first week

This past week in Culiacan has been a great blessing. The first two days we spent a whole lot traveling to be able to get to a camp and that was exhausting! Then on Wednesday I was able to speak to several girls and pray for the people. It was a nice time in the Lord. God blessed the people and the team also. On thursday I stayed behind to pray and God really just used me and all the other 4 who stayed. He spoke to us through verses and visions. The great thing is that While I was reading in Exodus I think, about how God promises to send his angle before us, when the teams got back they told us they had seen a cloud in shape of an angel and they took a picture but whoever took it did not want to let me download it... but if I can get her to let me, I will next week. Then on Friday, two teams got together, mine and another and we had already gotten into the camp, but after a while, the owner arrived and kicked us out. So we left as quickly as we could so we could get started on another
