Happy Anniversary!

The Lord has blessed me tremendously since I have been here. August 3rd was my first day here. Since then, on the 3rd of every month, something special has occured that I can only describe as a blessing from God. Each time, I am reminded of how God wants me here.

This time, I was honored to spend the weekend with my good friends from out of town: Anibal, Terry, Ben, Brett, Brian.





So, here is how it went...
Terry and crew flew in on the 2nd. Several of us met up together at the Kluge house to have a wonderful dinner prepared by Melissa. The next day, Katie and I took off of work to go around with the scouting group. Throughout the long weekend, we traveled to Valle de Angeles, Santa Lucia, Mololoa, and Comyagua. It was good getting to spend time with these great Christian leaders.

My story for the week gives me hope for how God will continue to use me this year. The morning of the 4th, several of us loaded up to travel to Baxter Institute to meet up with Carlos (a student of the school who agreed to show us around Comyagua). When we arrived, Carlos was there along with the main preacher of the Comyagua--which was a complete God thing because we were intending to meet him in Comyagua. [Things like that happened all the time--God's hand was evident everywhere we went.] Neither Carlos nor the preacher speak English. Terry turned to me and reminded me that my ability to speak Spanish comes straight from God. And that when it is needed, the Holy Spirit guides me to understand. Well, I said a quick prayer to myself and jumped into interpreting between Terry and the preacher. It was awesome! I love to see God developing these talents for His glory.
