hey cuz i do indeed read these and ill try to work on my use of there their and theyre emily, and no abby i was steller when it came to the soccer, jeremy i think its great that you dyed your hair there is just one problem, i cant see it, please put a photo of yourself on the postings, and thanks for the encouragement pastor matt, i will try to keep serving, its hard sometimes but thats what im here to do. today by the way was another fabulous day of meeting people and praying for them, this evening we went and hung out with the people of the village, the mexicans put on a drama and we made balloon animals for the kids, i must say the mexican children are some of the most beautiful children i have ever seen, on sunday when we went to church at one of the church plants i was blown away by the mexicans enthusiasm, it was a house church with about 30 or so people, this was not a huge house so many of them had to stand outside and listen to the sermon, the sermon was rather long as well so for at least an hour these people were willing to stand to hear Gods word preached, it was a real lesson for me, because ill complain if the sermon goes over or if i have to stand for 3 or 4 songs. i have had the privelage of presenting the team to each church we have attended, each time is a blessing, the people are so warm and receptive, when i was done talking at the main church the pastor talked and told the congregation they were going to take a collection for us, we couldnt believe it and i was stunned, i wanted to say no you dont have to do that but at the same time i dont want to offend them, Why is it that many times those who have the least are willing to give so much, God is amazing, and is teaching me a lot, one of those lessons has to do with giving, im reminded of pastor matts three Ts time, talent, and treasure. Im learning that it is not so hard to give one or two of those things, but to give all three at the same time can be a real challenge, pray that as i continue on this race God will really show me how to give all three and learn the joy of giving all three. also please pray for pastor javier, he is clearly a godly man and a gifted speaker, he has a lot on his plate. and please pray for the brown team as we only have 3 more days of ministry left and really want to make the most out of those 3 days. thank you all for praying for me and reading my blogs, please keep on responding i do really love hearing from all of you, and i will try to get those pics up. stay classy…oh wait sorry, have a dandy day everybody, there is that better cuz?
in Him
