Today I went to the hospital for the last time. I went in this afternoon and the doctor just pulled the pin right on out. I barely even felt it. I did get the opportunity to share the gospel with an english speaking doctor there. His name was Março. He learned his english in America where he studied for two years. He asked what I was doing here, so I told him. He heard all about it. We got into the religious talk a bit once he started asking me if I knew stuff about Mother Teresa. He told me that I was doing a good thing here by helping people. I tried to explain to him that I am here helping others to show them the love of Jesus. He didn´t quite get it though. The catholics here are real devout on the tradition of not knowing whether or not they will get to Heaven. It all depends on if the good out weights the bad. The conversation was ended when he told me that he needed to go check on a patient. Please pray for him and that Christ would open his heart to the gospel and The Truth.
Jr. and I have been hanging out with a group of guys this past week in the village. We have gone twice to the local college to hang out with some students there. We invited them to church and were delighted when four of them that haven´t come before show up at Saturday night´s service. Please pray for the lives of those men and women also. The village in which I live needs Jesus tremendously. It´s a small village so everyone knows everything about everyone and they spread it like wild fire. I am praying that God would allow Jr. and I to disciple a few men that will be able to carrying on the work that we have started.
Besides that, life is normal and great. It´s great having Jr. living with me. We have great conversations and the discipleship is amazing. He is helping me through one of the curiculums for his theology class. God is good and renews my strength everyday. I encourage all to spend all day in the Presence of God. It is Heaven on earth. I am not sure when I will be back in Cuiabá so just keep an eye out for future posts. Thank you for continuous prayers.
