Hola,Sorry it’s been so long. Iv’e been very busy.Well to start off I took a huge step for me toward obedience to the LORD in trying to complete a fast he has called me to do.I believe the LORD has called me to a prolonged fast and if ‘m honest withmyself and you I can truly say I never have really wanted to do it.I’ve tried half heartedly before but never pressed into it very hard until now! Part of my motivation has been my personal stuggles since leaving for the mission’s field and the chasm between my heart and CHRIST’S heart for ALL PEOPLE. But I must also say through obedience the LORD is bridging that divide. Iv’e been getting closer to the residen’s here at EL REFFUGIO and doing some ministry in several of the surrounding communities.I have a friend from Cleveland Ohio, Scott who is an old hippie He’s also a parapalegic and spend’s most of his day’salone getting high listening to the radio. I also spend a lot of time with a pair of older gentlemen, Scott(not the same one) and Thomas who practice an alternative lifestyle.Alot of my time ministering to these guy’s is just hanging out sharing storie’s being kind and strategically dropping the LORD into coversation when prompted or presented with the chance.Wheelchair Scott as I like to call him allowed me to lay hand’s on him and pray for him the other day and I plan on doing this everytime I see him(his spinal chord is severed at L3) please pray god will use me and furthermore for salvation to come to these beautiful creation’s of our heavenly father. I have been reading a great book The Iresistable revolution by Shane Claiborne.(this is your kind of book Seth) and doing deliverance work with Ella and Jose. I am currently in Puerta Escandida Doing some networking with other missionaries. There is another El Reffugio here wich minister’s to surfer’s. Will be here for the next 3 day’s then back to San Jose for my birthday. Then I head back to Matamoros, A.I.M. in Georgia, and N.C. for HARVEST festival at MORNINGSTAR (a bible conference geared toward mission’s. Thing’s are really good right now though the fasting was very tough. That’s briefly what’s been going on but word’s don’t express what GOD?S doing to my heart. But I’ll try. You see we all have this personal theology, what we really think about GOD. Some of us aren’t really honest about this. I can honestly say my feeling’s for the LORD tend to vascilate between two pole’s love and disdain. I’m currently falling in love with him again. I believe if we really want healing we better get honest about uor personal theology and let our heavenly father show us what a father’s love is all about. He doesn’t just let us go through pain for nothing (though in the midst of it, it often seem’s that way) he want’s to use our pain to help other’s (kinda like Jesus on a cross heh!) SHALOM, Hugh
