Our day of meetings with parents.

Greetings from South America!

Thank you all so much for your prayer and support; they have eternal ramifications! I praise the Lord for His strength. I was reminded today of how undeserving I am of His love. I spent the day with a dear, young lady from my church. She prepared breakfast for me and then lunch. I was humbled by her clean, simple house and the manner in which she and her family live. She was very proud to show me the Guinea pigs they raise, which they are excited to eat at Christmas. She served me an incredible amount of delicious food, and I praise the Lord that we were able to communicate fairly well. God is so good! I know I am privileged to live here and fellowship with these dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

Last Sunday I invited two teenage girls from my church over for lunch. We cooked tacos, which they had never heard of or eaten before. They enjoyed them immensely and asked if they could have "just one more" (in Spanish of course :). Please pray for the spiritual growth of these two girls named Andrea and Karina.

We just completed the second week of our third quarter at LMCS, and last Saturday was set aside to meet with parents. I was able to talk to several parents during the day. I think a good testimony was given to the parents, and we are praying for the salvation of many of them. We will be having another one of these days in October.

This quarter has brought new challenges for me as I have to prepare for four different high school courses (7th grade Science, 9th grade Geography, 9th grade English, and 10th grade World History). I would appreciate your prayers for me personally as I try to manage my time well.

I praise the Lord for helping me in my Spanish-speaking ability. Of course I have a very long way to go, but I learn new words every day! He has brought me a long way already.

I also praise the Lord that my sister will be able to visit me in October! I am very excited! The Lord has graciously provided her way here.
