Well I am blogging again to inform you all that every Thursday I help our team leader out with his class that he has. A few kids come and play soccer for a little while then we read a part of scripture and talk about it. Most weeks the kids pay attention, sometimes not. But they are good kids and I think that they are understanding what we are reading.
I ask that you all pray for these kids that God would open their hearts so that they would receive Him.
Please pray for them...

Look back and catch up
So instead of having something new to say, I decided to remind you all that there are quite a few posts here. And I am pretty sure that you all did not read every one. People get busy and things happen which is ok so do not worry about it. So now I give you the chance to catch up and read the posts that you did not get to read yet. There are some pretty good ones that you totally should not miss.
So please go back through the list and read the ones that you did not read.
And keep up the prayer...

Utter darkness
We never realize how dark things are in other countries until we live there. I never would have thought about the darkness here in Mexico or worried about it, if I did not live here. The darkness here is so thick and suffocating.
God showed me something when my grandparents were here in August. We took them downtown and showed a few churches there. As we were walking around in one that I had never been in before, I saw it. Near the front of the one wing there is a casket that is see through, and inside is the body of a monk. They say he was the first monk here in Puebla and started the first church and made some roads. They also dug him up like fifty years after he died and they found that his skin was still soft and still there. Supposedly he did not decompose like normal bodies do. So they have him up front in the church and you can come up and put money in the little slot to supposedly get healed from something. As I was looking at it I saw this little lady come up with a few pesos in her hand and slowly make her way across the casket to the place where she could put her money in. All the while she was rubbing her stomach, for healing I guess. Think about it...This little old lady, that could barely walk without her cane, comes to this dead body and puts some money in the slot; that might of been all the money she had for food at the time, just because she thought she would be healed. This was a wake up call for me, and it also made me sad. To think that this poor old lady would spend her money on some dead guy just cause she was told he could heal her.
Mexico needs Christ, they need to hear of His love and life. For it is through Him that people can be saved and healed.
Please keep Mexico in your prayers for there is a lot of darkness here.
Please pray...

The sound of Music
Do any of you listen to music? Well I do, all the time.
Music is soothing and can be a booster. Now I know people can get obsessed to listening to music too. Sometimes I get a little too excited about it, and sometimes I get annoyed with it because some days I have a song in my head that I can not get out, and that is not cool. But sometimes I get a really sweet song in my head that I love, so that's not as bad. Music is so fun to listen to and to create. Some of you know that I play guitar and some don't. Well I love to play it and make music. And I hope that someday I can make a band and play guitar all the time.
Music is something you can listen to in every mood. No matter how you feel there is always some song you can listen too. Even when our feeling like nothing you can listen to something to make you feel like something.
Without music this world would be very quiet. The streets would be quieter, and the car would be also. That would not be cool because I need to hear something almost all the time. Maybe you think that is sad but I don't!! Especially when I'm in my room I always have music playing as loud as possible, so much fun. Whatever I am doing I always have something playing, yep yep. And of course I play as much guitar as possible which is super fun and exciting and amazing.
So if any of you do not like to listen to music, I think that you should. Because when you are stressed out you can sit listen to music and feel better, try it.
