Another week has come and gone. Where to start? Well Sunday we visited a different church with many warm and welcoming people; Amanda and I really like it and plan on returning. We went to lunch after and went to the beach to play soccer. I know it may not sound like much, but building relationships is key! God has blessed us so much with new friends and opportunities to serve. This week we went back to Pamplona on Tuesday where I got to lead bible study twice, with very wonderful women. We went back today to make lunch and do more bible study. It is amazing to see people hungry for God's word! Last blog I mentioned Santiago-one of the translators for the IMB. He has been amazing, and a great brother in Christ, he has gotten Amanda and I involved in different ministries. On Wednesday Santiago invited us to go bowling with some of his University friends. We met new people and Amanda was even able to share the gospel! Thursday we taught class and bible study for the translators all by ourselves! God has truly blessed our time here and has been opening up many doors. On a sadder note, we have recently found out that two of the hands-on students in Latin America, whom we went through orientation with, are going home tomorrow. There are numerous reasons, but it is always heart breaking when ministry has to stop. Please keep those girls in your prayers as it is very hard for them to return home.
Hope you and Amanda are doing well. I've been giving the church a weekly update on your activities and what you all are doing. Please keep us posted as you go along. We're all praying for both of you and for the work that God is doing there.
