I would just like to say “Hola” (hi) to all of my friends back home at MWMS. Every time I think of all of you, I think of how spoiled we are with all the toys and and even having heaters and air conditioners. Just some food for thought; ho many items do you own that you haven’t touched in 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5 years.
Let me explain why I am saying all of this. Today, as I and my parents, were out sharing the gospel of Jesus, I saw kids that had nothing but were still content. Our friend Eric saw one young boy who was playing with the end of an extension cords as if it were a toy car.
I was able to play soccer today with one of our translators named Gerson (Hair-Sone). He plays soccer for his school. He is 16 and he is fluent in english and spanish of course and he is really good at soccer.
The food here is delicious and I can’t wait to see what Fanny cooks for tomorrow.
We visited a church today. It was a Catholic church that is extremely old. It is so old that it has the oldest clock in North, Central, or South America. We were able to climb up into the bell tower and look out over the city.
We went shopping in an open air market and I bought some neat stuff including a wooden snake, a sling shot, a hand-made wooden box, a hat, and a pair of leather sandals.
That’s enough for today, I will put more on the blog tomorrow, and now I am off to bed.
Hasta Pronto (See you Soon)
Isaiah
Isaiah, your blog was so interesting! You are so blessed to learn so many truths early in life. You are helping me recommit to “going lean” (focusing more of my time and life on praising God and serving him – rather than on material things). I’ve been praying for you, your mom and dad and the team every day. I work with your mom. Thank you for sharing the gospel with folks who the rest of us will never see. Love in Christ Jesus, jane
We are so proud of the work you are doing for the Lord and we know He has great things for you to do for Him. Our prayers are with you. At the Missions team meeting tonight, I asked for prayer for you all and several asked for the blog address.
Someone broke into our Church and took the new mixerboard last night. They left the dual cassette player right above it. Ransacked the office, probably looking for money which we never leave there. Glad we had taken the other sound system to our house.
Love,
Grandpa Ray & Grandma Kay
Isaiah, I’m so glad you are having a good time, but not only does your story go to just the kids in your school and your friends, but it also applies to us grown-ups. The Lord supplies so many of our needs every day and we just take Him for granted. I am trying my best to learn better and give Him more of my time and praise. For He has blessed my family with so much… with LIFE, Miracles, and Healings! I will not stop praising my Lord, for He is so good to me!!Thank You Jesus!!! God Bless, Love Sharon
