Beautiful Feet: March 20, 2015

What a day of rejoicing it will be…as the song goes. We are blessed to have a new Sister in Christ, Reina! Many have been praying for her decision and today, the prayers have been answered. We met Reina the first week we arrived here. The church had been reading through the Bible and Lucky would go by and read with Reina three or four times a week. When Lucky left to visit the States, the Bible reading for the church was complete, so we began having studies with Reina, along with our Sister Bessy. Each study, we felt like she understood and wanted to be baptized, but something was holding her back. We asked Carlos and Egardo to go by and visit and see if she might be able to share her reservations. Well, after two visits, she decided today would be the day! A group of us met at the swimming pool in Ataco and a Reina was baptized. I was so excited about her decision, I waded on out and gave her a big hug. It is always a joy beyond description when someone becomes a new creation! We were also blessed today, by having the Cortez family over for lunch. Greg Nance, Rachel’s father, was here for a week. He is conducting a seminar on Saturday. We were excited that he could come visit for a meal while he is here. Finally, at the end of the day, we went to an outdoor film on the life of Moses. Brothers set up a tent on a concrete breezeway in Triumphal, and did some door-knocking. There were several visitors. It is the second time this week that the movie was shown. The first showing was also done in a small community on the border of Ataco and had about 15ish adult visitors and about 30ish children visitors. It is a lot of work to put up the tent, but the results have been a blessing. It was a great day with many blessings.
