whats your favorite

I was asked what my favorite thing on our trip was where to begin aaaaaaaaaaaaaa no, everything was awesome. But I think what sticks with me the most is how I enjoyed all the great people I shared this experience with. and how close I felt we have got in just a week. I believe it is because we are all bothers and sisters in Christ, and how amazing it  was to be doing the lords work all day everyday. When looking back All the sinful thoughts that usaully plauge me are not here I have realized after being back for two weeks how sin is triing to creep in because now there is down time and work. How easy it is to keep sin at bay when you are surounded by good christains and are thinking about God all day and staying in the word thank you God. thank you Rich, Amy. Isaih, Matt, Christanna, Collin, Wes, Stephanie, Ida, Susie, Jason, Laura, Jeff, Cathy, Hans, Pamela, Jennefer, Vanessa, Lucilia, Terry, Arlene, America, Rubia, and Robert.

I will be praying for us to stay busy in the word and the work he gives us.

we are home

Got home at 12.30 am could not sleep even thou I was tired everybody was a sleep and I could not wait to tell them every thing. I have told everybody I have seen today about our trip and the 260 salvation’s. wanted to go to church tonight for visitation but work is over whelming the first day back after being gone for a week so I did not get off in time to make it to visitation. I sure miss the all day excitement of our great journeys we had every day. You will never understand until you experience something of this nature I truly loved every waking moment. I can’t hardly share with out getting emotional. A few years back it would have really bother me to cry in front of people but I am starting to be OK with it because I can not share about the lord for some reason without crying and I am not going to stop sharing so I better get used to crying. Love Eddie

last night here some what deppresing

We have had three services and all have been awesome. I gave my testimony in front of 150 to 175 people it looked like the biggest church I have ever seen when we walked in. but it probably was not now that I look back at the day. But me and Susie both thought thanks Wes for saving our testimony for the largest church we have been to all week. I was shaking like a leaf I had to hold the mike against my chest to keep it still but I did it and now I think I can do it again. I cannot wait to come back and bring my family. we had to say bye to Jennifer, Vannesa and Lucilla today that was bitter sweet because they have been lots of fun to be with. tomorow will will have to say good by to Pamela and Hans it makes me sad. It is hard to believe that you can grow so found of people in a week but I sure have and I will miss all of them a lot. Terry and Arlene have been wonderful host and we will miss them also. Well we will see you guys in about 24 hours keep all these people in your prayer please thank you love you all Eddie

fifth day

Again we have had a great day we fed 125 kids was suppose to be 100 we did not have enough. Two little girls did not get to eat because we did not have enough. How does that make you feel. Well it made me feel like crying I grabbed Pamela asked what we could do she told me they have no more food or drink so I asked if gave them money would they get more so that is what we did.
So I beg of you to look at all the junk we have and get our priorities in order. This world needs our help people we need to wake up and get with it myself especially. Again Rich has given a great message in tonight’s service. Every bodies testamonys have been great all week. Please pray for us and our interprataters and or transportator.
Love all you guys back home

Fourth day

We have been so busy from 6am to 9 or 10 every day starting to get tired but this is so awsome you want to go on and on wish we had more time with these fine people. Two more days Saturday is a little slower than the rest of the week but Sunday is jam packed.
Today has been another wow day we did the sin box I have never seen it but it was great the kids loved it. I got to be a sheep again in our lost sheep skit again the kids laugh and think it is great. Tonight Jeff gave his testamony it was awsome. Then Rich gave a wonderful serman and three were saved. So far they say 200 have came to the lord this week. We have a couple of transaters having throat problems so please pray for all of them they work so hard you can not imagine the work the do. When we went to Germany I remember Sina saying it is exhausting because there sentence structure is deferent than ours and so is spanish. Pamela said at the end of the day she is so tired so please again pray for these amazing girls Pamela is 28, Lucila is 31, Vannesa is 32, and Jenifer is 18 and Pamelas sister. Pamelas mom is one of our cooks and her husband is our drive. Her mom can make anything taste good.
Oh yes we did a dance with kids call chew cha waa and every body has been laughing at my dancing skills. I have had better than a wonderful time GOD is so great.

Third day

Again our interprataters are just so awsome I have been blessed to get to meet them and spend lots of time with them. Today Pamela was our translater she is the lead translater. She has such a heart for this work and God. Translaters are Pamela, Vannesa, Lucila, and Jenefer. We had 35 or so come to Jesus. Terry and Arlene are our host they are very fine people. I have learned so much in three days from some of the youngest people here God again has humbled me. I was a little disapointed with my door to door today because almost all thaught it was works and it is so hard to change there way of thinking. It is frustating because I have been going to church all my life and should know my bible upside down and backward but do not. So please read your bible and study so when you do share you can maybe change there thinking. But again God taught me that it is the seed you plant because tonight at our study the people I thaught did not understand came to our mens and womens confrence. So I want to enfasize that we must go and share even if you are not well versed. Share your heart. These people are so friendly you go to ther house and they invite you in break out the chairs and sit and talk. They are like we used to be family and friend oreinted comunity. We need to find our way back to loving our neihbors and enjoying there company. So pray for me that I can do this because I do not do this either. It breaks my heart that I am so much about Eddie so God please forgive me. This is one of the most awsome things I have done. Thank you God for allowing me this oppertunity. Forgive my spelling I am a plumber not a scolar. I hope you can read this and understand my heart. Love you all Eddie.
Ps love you Char, George, milaci, Seth

Second full day

Again I am blown away by the translaters Vennesa was our translater today. The first time I shared with someone, she had lots of questions and it took all six of us to answer them all, but Arlene asked her if she had ever gone fishing she said yes Then Arlene asked have you ever caught a clean fish she laughed and said no. Arlene said neither does Jesus catch us clean he gets us and then cleans us. She finally understood and exepted Christ ye ha and the she came to church tonight with her husband or boy friend and he exepted christ we had close to 60 come to christ today. But the second time I went to share I started sharing with a young man and then my mind went blank I turned around for help from the rest of the group and they had moved away from myself and Vennesa and was sharing with 4 kids so I told Venessa I could not think of what to say so she took over and saved me and then my mind came back and I was able to help the young man understand the free gift from god and we prayed the sinners pray. We have been having a blast sharing and talking to all these people. We had a cloths give away and one older guy got so exited about a new pair of shoes he was able to get, like we had give him a million dollars. He was at church tonight in his new shoes and proud of them simple amazing. I would like to ask every one to pray for Vennesa she has a wonderful heart but she needs our prays.

Loving this time

So far we have seen lots of very nice people all our translators are the nicest people you would ever want to meet it is so awsome. We went to the hospital for children and prayed for them and there family it was heart wrenching to say the least. Then we went to a childrens home and gave them a pillow of all things and they smiled so big you thought you gave them a new car. Two of the little girls came and sat on my lap it was precious the one on my left knee is an orphan. Her mom died in a car wreck, the one on my right knee was eating her own hair because she was so hungry when they found her. I cry every time I think of them and would love to be able to help so much more but outside of adopting them what can we do. I ask that you pray for them and maybe think about sending some money to the home once a month. It is breakfast time so I have to go love Eddie

PS Thank you God for this opportunity
