Today we went to Rio 3 with Jim and Betty. I got to work with Kurt as well. We went and talked with 2 ladies at there home there. They live in a house that is 10x15 feet. and it has no water plumbing or gas. the only venelation is when the window is open. They each have lost a leg from circulation problems. But today when we went in to pray with them, they could only pray for us. not once did they ask God for something for them, but instead thead they prayed for us and thanked God for us. they both have an amazing heart and it is inspiring to see there faith in Christ. We did some out reach there as well. we brought clothes and also toys for the kids. Later we poured some concrete!! This evening we had extended worship! I began the night with all kinds of questions and struggles just in where God is leading me. but some how God grabed ahold of me through prayer and fellowship, and a feeling came over me of content. I felt like God was saying give me your worrys and troubles. dont ask questions you know you wont know, and trust me because I know everything, and you dont need to know it all. He lifted my heart up, and put my on a cloud. I felt free and weightless. It has been an amazing 3 weeks and I cant tell you how much God is doing here. I am very excited for my parents and my church to come down in 2 weeks, and I am anxious to see how God will work in there hearts and transform them into someone greater than they could have ever imagined.Galatians 5:16-18

Hey Adam - Sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that things are continuing to go well. It amazes me that the women were so caring and prayed for you guys but didn't mention a thing about themselves. That was always one thing that stuck out in my mind about Mexico - the people had so little but they had so much faith and seemed so content!! Their faith in God amazed me - especially considering their circumstances! I think we could all learn a lot from them.
We love you!
