Hi Friends,
Today was my first birthday in a different Country without any of my immediate family. I had a nice day though. This morning when I came out of my room right before the kids went to school I sat down on a soccer ball and Sofia ran over and sat down on my lap. I whispered into her ear "Do you know what today is?" She didn't remember, so I reminded her it was my birthday. She then got very excited and ran into her room and got a present for me. She gave me a bracelet and 3 pairs of earrings!
It was then time for them to go to school. As Sofia was walking toward the door she turned around and ran over to me and gave me a kiss and said "I'm going to miss you when you leave." I love her so much and am going to miss her when I leave, even if she does annoy me a lot. haha
But anyway, this is a post asking for prayer. We are getting ready to go to the campo next week. I am going to be glad when that week is over. We are going out into the middle of nowhere to evangelize. We will be staying with one of the pastors out there. We will be doing a Bible school thing for the kids and then door to door evangelism. All in Spanish... I am a bit nervous about that. So you can be praying for us.
Thanks for your prayers!

I teared up a little reading about you and Sophia. She sounds so precious, and just like a little sister - someone you love, even though she can get on your nerves, haha.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you and your team as you take on your next challenge. And don't worry about your Spanish! You have come so far! Just remember, less than a year ago, when you and I went to Spanish Bible school in York Springs. Even though you hardly knew a word of Spanish then, those kids loved you and you were able to communicate with them just by loving them back. I have confidence that you will do a wonderful job of evangelizing and teaching in Spanish while you are there.
te amo!
