Dear faithful,
Teote.com is officially live and kicking! It is named after the phrase, The Ends Of The Earth, where we are going according to Acts 1:8 ( "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."). Please check it for these updates and more periodically, especially the blog section, since for the next couple months i'll probably update it more often than this email update. There you may read about our travels and experiences and know how to best pray for us and those we meet. I'm sending out about one email update per week right now, but once we are through with training (probably in October), including the training in Peru, we will be out in the communities of these lost people groups 2-3 months at a time. That means you'll hear from me (and i from you) about 4-6 times in a year (Don't worry, mom, i'll be sure to call you a bunch between outings.).
So, Monday evening we were playing soccer... aggressively. It was game point and i was right in front of the goal and the i shot, planting my foot, as the goalie landed on the outside of my left knee. The knee bent inward and made a loud popping sound. I thought i'd broke it but i can jog/walk on it and is a little swollen. I was able to jog on it yesterday, Wednesday, morning without pain, but it is very stiff from swelling. I got to see the doctor today, Thursday, and he suspects an ACL tear. My MRI is on Monday and i won't receive any results until Wednesday or Thursday next week. Please join with me and my fellow missionaries here at FPO in praying that God will miraculously heal my knee before the Monday appointment so that this will not keep the Gospel from these lost people's ears.
PrayeRequests:
-Please pray for the entire Xtreme Team. It seems that Satan has a history of injuring the Xtreme Teamers to keep them from getting to the villages. A list of their names can be found at the Xtreme Team's main website and at their Jungle website.
-Pray for Jon. His Spanish learning is still slow. He also was sick on his stomach starting about 5:30am this morning. It's coming out both ends and he's missing valuable class time.
-Pray for Bobby. As all of us, time management is wearing on him. There is so much to memorize and learn.
-Pray for Jeremy. He has an extremely large workload as the XT boss and it is by the grace of God that he can do it. Since working with the Xtreme Team, he has broke his back and arms by falling off a climbing wall, broke his femur, and has experienced many jungle parasites that like to make the digestive system act up. He currently has an ameba in his digestive track that makes things difficult for him.
-Pray for me. Of course pray that my foot would continue to hold together. Pray that God would heal my knee. Pray that i would be able to soak up this fire hydrant of useful information that i'm trying to take in here at the MLC.
-Give praise to God! Through all this, i am still confident that i am still in the center of His Will! What a wonderful place to be!
