May 28th
Today God exploded our schedules with opportunities! Today at the elementary school in El Cento I had the opportunity to share the gospel and my testimony (the best I could) to some teachers. One of which was very interested in English so I asked her if she wanted to practice english with us and study the Bible. She DID! So much that she invited us to her house today! We studied English and John 3! I do not even remember the word I said. I thank God for providing words and I pray that Cristina will dwell on the truth which she heard today and be completely unsatisfied with anything but the truth of the Word of God. Also the little girl Denise that we visited with her mommy and her on Tuesday told us at school today that she and her mommy wanted to study the Bible with us. So we went by there this afternoon and asked about it. At first the Mom (Carmen) didn´t seem to have said that but invited us in none the less. We read from Denise´s childrens bible with 6 kids (cousins included) and 2 adults too (Carmen and her brother in law). They invited us back. So we will be there on Tuesday afternoons after Cristina´s. We have probably walked 12 miles (at least) in the last 2 and half days. Yesterday we went to Santa Monica (extremely mountianous) to meet director of school. Turns out we meet people working at the daycare too! We talked to, sang with, played with, etc. the kids there. And even More opportunities opened up!

Join us in Praising the LORD!
Please pray for our team because our sleep has been a challenge this week and we are getting very tired but know we only have 3 weeks and 1 day left here with much to do!
Also...I want to be honest so that I can ask for your prayers...I am really missing my family the past couple days. Pray for me to be focused and for GODS DESIRES and what He offers as ALL-SATISFYING to fill me rather than my own desires to be with my family.
Thank you all for your prayers!
