- A guy named Edgar got saved, God tested my faith, and God is teaching me some strange things. Several stories like these are posted on the blog.
- Jeff Hill, from Texas, will be joining the Xtreme Team in February with me.
- Prayer requests are below.
The milk and cookies: (for the non-skimmers)
Dear cloud of witnesses,
First, i want to ask yall if there's anyway i can be praying for you. As i asked this back in the summer and ask it now because Satan wants to put things in your lives that will stop you from thinking/praying for your brothers and sisters overseas (including me). We can't afford that. Plus, this is not a religion where you have my back but i don't have yours. Back to back, we fight our spiritual battles.I was able to lead a local named Edgar to Christ! PTL! Read the story . A week later, we visited him again and his family was there. Maria (mom), a little girl (sister?), and a boy/girlfriend couple (sister?). They are not believers but are interested in learning more. We shared the Creation story. Edgar has started reading the book of John in the Bible we gave him. He has a tough living situation with a women who is married to someone else.
Jose and i are working on a very small bathhouse on the weekends. We started last weekend. Once i realized he had no intentions of making it square and i could stop worrying, i felt a lot better. Laying blocks is very different in the States. We hope that this bathhouse will attract the town´s people to the church, many of whom don´t have a shower or toilet. Glory to God!
We celebrated Thanksgiving at the house with about 50 missionaries from Ecuador. As you might have gathered, the Pilgrims didn´t settle the coast of Ecuador, so it´s not a holiday most of the nationals know or celebrate. It was some good eating though! I even met a girl named Katie Kaley who was a camper at Snowbird the last 2 summers! What are the odds?!
PrayeRequests:
- Pray for Igancio and i as we disciple Edgar and minister to his unbelieving family.
- Pray for me as i have no face-to-face accountability with English-speaking guys my age. There are none here. This has been the biggest loss i've suffered thus far. Props to my accountability guys back home who email me.
- Pray that i would not miss opportunities to serve and witness to souls that are ripe for the harvest.
- Jeff Hill is in training in VA at the moment. Pray he doesn't tear his ACL, etc.
- Unspoken request. Just kidding! Those aren't in the Bible. (Think about it.)
Love yuns!
