So many times this week I have thought about this song and Psalm 2:8 because IT IS SO TRUE!! God has opened my eyes to hungry people wanting to hear about Him and His word. Last week 3 people came to Christ and this week 12 more people have accepted Christ and have been baptized. We take them down to the nearest river and baptize them there. When talking to a family that was baptized, they were thankful that someone has come to explain who God is so they can learn more about Him and they said this with smiles on their faces. Another lady started crying because she was thankful to hear the Truth!
We have been working hard on the farm. Our task was to plant around 200 tree poles, 200 black pepper plants, and then replace any dead pepper plants. We found many American toads in the field. American toads are these huge toads that are about 2 to 3 times larger than the ones back in Missouri. With all this work, I have never sweat so much in my life. It truly is hard work but the best thing is we have snacks half way through. Sometimes we will go into the bushes and cut down coconut so we will have something to drink. The coconut water tastes better and energizes better than any Gatorade drink. Another favorite has been rice cakes and they are delicious!! They take “going green” literally here because many times we have eaten off of banana leaves.
Thank you again for all the support and prayers. It has been making a difference. This week if you could pray for persons of peace that we will be able to reach them and find then. Pray for the new Christians that they will be able to stay strong against persecutions and they will keep growing in their faith. Also, that God will send out more missionaries into the harvest. The harvest is here and God tells us to ask Him for this.
