That's how I normally describe driving here in Baja and it also describes the past two weeks. Last week, I sped up to San Diego to fulfill my civic duty as a juror, waited in the courthouse a day and a half, and answered questions from two judges and four lawyers. The result - they didn't want me because God had other plans. Afterwards, I spent about 30 minutes at the DMV to renew my driver's license. Only 30 minutes, you say? Yep! A miracle indeed! As I left the DMV, my trusty Toyota pickup began to make a very strange noise. I ended up going to a Toyota dealer where NO ONE would speak to me. So, I asked the Lord to heal it, re-started the engine and drove away. The noise has not returned. He is not only the Great Physician, He's a fantastic mechanic!
After speeding back to Colonia Vicente Guerrero, (not speeding in the illegal sense - that would be wrong), opportunities were presented to help kids with things for school. Salvation is absolutely the most important thing, but, after that, kids need to be educated so they can read the Bible, have opportunities to leave the poverty that comes with laboring in the fields, and climb to a position in society where they can help others. Helping them stay in school is close to my heart. The Lord provided four kids with new shoes and two with new backpacks. The schools take a hard line and will kick kids out of class if they don't have just the right uniform, etc.
On Wednesday of this week, I received a big request for 70 Bible story CDs in Spanish and the Mixtec Juxtlahuaca and Mixtec Mixtepec dialects of the Mixteco language. A pastor in the Triqui Indian village is planning to take them to the Mexican state of Oaxaca near Mexico City. After burning CDs for two days and scrambling to find enough CD cases, the pastor's order is ready. Thank you Lord for this good laptop/CD factory.
Next week, I'm planning a return to Hacienda Sinaloa for another evangelical outreach with a local Mexican missionary. Please join me in asking God to open the eyes of the men in this camp so that they will choose to follow Christ.
