I am very excited to share with you something that happened several Sundays ago. A girl named Yulisa, who I met last year, came to Sunday school for the first time in a year or more. Afterwards she came to me and asked me who she could talk to about giving her life to Christ. I told her that she was welcome to talk to me, so we sat down, and she told me that she wanted to ask the Lord to save her. I wanted to make sure she understood, so I went over several verses in Romans with her, and she told me again that yes, she wanted to giver her life to Christ. She asked me how she should pray, and I explained to her that she should just talk to God because He was there and was listening. She agreed, and at that moment she asked the Lord to save her. I was so excited, and it happened so fast that I don't remember clearly her specific words! I delayed in sharing this good news with you because I wanted to be sure that she was sincere. Of course, I don't know her heart and even now cannot tell you her true spiritual state, but I can say that she has been very interested in the Word of God, has come to Sunday school every Sunday since that day, and Saturday night she also came to youth group. I believe that she was ready when she came to talk to me; God was drawing her to Him. I have since learned that the seed of the gospel has been watered in her life for a good amount of time because she has been going to a Bible club in a nearby school on Saturdays. I have also since learned that this Bible club is led by a sister in Christ from the Vida Nueva Church that our school's (LMCS) director and many other teachers attend. I invite you to join me in praising the Lord for His saving grace and in praying for Yulisa. Please pray for her spiritual growth and faithful attendance at church. I have attached a picture of Yulisa with me and a girl named Marilyn. Marilyn claims to be a Christian, but I'm not sure she understands completely. Yulisa is the girl on the right with glasses.
