The plan is: go to San Diego tomorrow and fly out Wednesday to Wichita, Kansas (by way of Atlanta, Georgia - go figure). Before that happens, there is much to do! This blog entry is one thing I will quickly check off the list. Others that should be done today are (1) finishing newsletters, (2) helping a family in Las Misiones, (3) delivering some fotos to a friend, (4) sending an important e-mail or two, (5) giving a guitar lesson to the girls at our La Paloma childrens' home, (6) delivering a Christmas gift, (7) purchasing a bus ticket up to the border, (9) pack for my trip to Kansas, (8) maybe some landscaping to help finish off a sidewalk project here on IDT's base. Today is a full day, but I want none of it to get in the way of what Jesus Christ would have me do.
Anyway, the past week has been a lot like the above. The Lord allowed two crucial concrete sidewalks to be poured last Tuesday by Isais, our local concrete master. He does wonderful work and is a true servant of the Lord. The concrete dried very, very, very slowly and I was able to finally open it up to traffic Saturday night and remove the forms yesterday. Thanks to Isais' hard work and the patience of people at IDT, the concrete looks as beautiful as concrete can. When it rains now, we won't have to skip, hop, and jump over mud puddles. This is also a nice improvement for when we have conferences and other events here. Thank you, Lord!
I've been led into a new style of evangelism lately. In the evenings, I've been handing out gospel tracts in our area. The tracts ask if people believe they are good. They lead them through the Law of God (the Ten Commandments) and emphasize doing a 180 from sin and trusting only in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death on the cross as payment for all sin. So far, the indications are favorable. Everyone I've handed a tract to has been happy to get it. Only the Lord knows about salvation because only He knows the heart of each person.
Well, I've got to get some other things crossed off my list. God bless you!
