Go Red Sox!!
I don't need to say much about the game last night- it was fun! I like those big wins- no stress! Just three more...
Catching up on some ministry... Guayacanal- not much happened while I was gone. I was disappointed in one way but things never go according to MY schedule. We had a lot of rain (I know some of you wish you had it!) and several of our families there had family emergencies. I was VERY encouraged though to hear about and see the transformation that is taking place in their lives. Victor shared that he had dreamed, the Lord was speaking to him, and he remembered how the first group (prayerwalking) arrived at his house and how he opened his house and now the Lord was speaking to him and changing his life. He said it was such a powerful dream he woke up his wife and made her feel the tears on his face!
La Canela: Simon and his family continue studying the Bible and I believe are feeling called to become followers. He is an awesome leader! I came away yesterday very hopeful with what God will do there.
Villa: They didn't do a whole lot while I was away. They did get to La Barranquita and had a good experience. This group of people lack a leader who can motivate and guide them. Please pray for them, and for me to know how to deal with this and to know who God would send to help them.
Los Santos: They also had a set back in that the man who was going to preach called and left a message at my house (which no one ever heard) that he COULDN'T go! But Sol said they managed okay and had a good service. They went one Sunday to visit in La Canela which went well. Their plans for Gurabo fell through.
The Hole: Things are normal- Felix' business is going well in the sense that he has a lot of work. But he is experiencing a cash flow problem and a few clients who started projects and then have not paid. He is kind of discouraged. I think it is all part of getting started in your own business and am trying to encourage him. One thing which encourages me- he continues to work hard and is growing in his desire to serve the Lord in ministry.
Wait to you hear this: Victor had a chance to have lunch with the president of the country!! He was almost next to the president- I saw the pictures! He shared with him the terrible conditions of the hole and asked that they be relocated and that area of the hole be replanted with trees. They have already sent two engineers to study the situations (they were appalled and said they would treat the matter as urgent.) So, if Leonel wins reelection, we may see a big change in the Hole!
