Exceeding Expectations

     Last year for Easter I was away from home, working up at Word of Life in NY. I went to a small town church and heard a message on the resurrection by Dr. Davis. J Afterwards, I ate a delicious American dinner with brothers and sisters in Christ as a guest of my discipler, and relaxed in the unusually warm sunshine on a porch swing overlooking Schroon Lake.
     This year I am also away from home. I’m still working with WOL, but in Mexico. Today I went to an incredibly early service in a small town church where I heard a message in Spanish… I’m not sure what it was about, but we sang a lot of familiar hymns about the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Afterwards, I ate a strawberry flavored corn cake, sweet bread, and had a hot, but sweet tortilla/ pineapple drink with brothers and sisters in Christ. Then, after a nap, I spent the rest of the day inside doing Liberty Online schoolwork.
     I am amazed at how much my life has changed over the past year and God has certainly exceeded my expectations. One thing that always remains the same is the faithfulness of my God! Last year had some tough times and this year is no different, but I know no matter where I am or what I'm doing, I can always face tomorrow because my Savior lives!


     Camp this past week seemed so short but it was still fun to have a part in it through working in the kitchen. Also, there was a girl at camp from GA the didn't speak very much Spanish.  Dawnell and I got to spend a little time with her and I got to share the gospel with her. She didn't trust in Christ then, but later that day she did after someone else spoke to her again! It was a certainly refreshing for me to be able to explain the gospel to someone.
     This week we have Monday off and will spend Tuesday-Friday planning and preparing next years schedule for the Christian Missionary School. Please pray for us as we seek how to best minister to the students and provide oppotunities for them to minister to others.


Random Tidbit:
Applying strawberry yogurt after a sunburn helps you not to peel... or so I'm told. :)
