Yesterday turned out to be pretty amazing. God is God. He is not a God of circumstances, every circumstance is in his hands. I was reminded of this yesterday. Vbs went really well, I was sad to see it end! At lunch this drunk dude kept yelled at us...in Spanish so its not like any of us understood him expect Jeremy L. and John. I went with Emily and Heather to the English lesson and told Armando the story of Noah and the Ark. Then Emily and I came back to the house because she wasn´t feeling too well. Molly, Jeremy L, Jeremy S, Jonathan, Cory, and I went to community storying last night. We were praying that Paúl (the guy I wrote about in an earlier blog that was showing an interest in storying) would show up because he was suppose to do the story. We were suppose to start at 7:00 p:m and it was about 7:30 p:m when Jeremy S. and I decided to go get Yasmani at his house to come to the story. We got back to the government building and Paúl was there, thank you Lord! So Paúl told the story of Elijah and Baal. It actually went really well! The discussion time at the end was amazing, it got really in depth. The two teenagers named Blanca and Salomon asked a ton of questions. Usually during the story times we ask questions and they answer them but we allowed them to ask us questions. They asked about the trinity, why we don´t offer sacrifices any more, etc. About 16 people ended up coming and we talked until 9:30 p:m. God is really working in Conima. Pray for Paúl, that he will have the strength to become a leader here and that he will come to a saving knowledge of Christ.

I woke up to it raining in Conima! What a nice change of weather. We were suppose to go on a hike today but its been raining throughout the day and its been very windy. Instead of hiking we have been sitting by the fire all day playing card games. Its been very refreshing, I forgot what it was like to relax! The room started getting extermely smoky from the fire so we opened a few windows, the windows are swinging windows. The wind picked up all of a sudden and the window was swinging like crazy! So I went to grab it and almost got smacked in the face but Cory Lee came to my rescue! John (the missionary) was laughing the whole time! So much for missionaries being loving! haha. Just kiddingggg. The FBC Willow Park team leaves tomorrow morning, they really lifted our spirits being here; its going to be sad to see them go! Well I´m off to go enjoy doing nothing. Please keep us in your prayers as we are spending our last week doing mission work in Conima. We gotta keep fighting the good fight!
-Love in Christ
