First Update

Hello All,

I am writing in an internet/phone place, from Bogota, Columbia. I have used my spanish to get around and havent spoken a word of English. Id like yall to know this is not a normal American keyboard so if there are no apostraphes/other things missing, Im not illiterate, this keyboard is just weird! I tried tuesday, wednesday, and thursday getting a flight out on standby. Its the start of the Peruvian school year therefore I wouldnt have been able to get to Lima until wednesday. then to Iquitos by thursday. God is so good though, He provided Dick Hyslop who had a hotel in Miami for the week. That had an all you can eat breakfast and dinner. Praise God for that!!! Cesar and I had a lot of time to bond and get to know one another. we spent the three days together in Miami, he spent four!!! I was able to witness to a guy and from that I was able to pray over 4 other people and one was brought to tears by the joy of the Lord. It was incredible. Thank you everyone who has supported me up until this point, my parents and family for sticking it out with me over the years. what an adventure its been!!! And for the people who beleived in me up until this point, financially throught this trip, prayerfully (the most important) and just being a part of my life. Thank you. I wasnt able to get ahold of my Uncle Scott and Aunt Barb, THank You both so much... I love witnessing to people and from what I saw from last night, i ministered to 5 spanish speaking people. Yes Miamis two languages are Spanish and spanglish. Its official. My time is running out. I love all of you so much and next time you will hear from me it will be in Iquitos, Peru!!!

  3. George.... I am sooooo proud of you.... Thank you for your humility and honesty... God knows all your strengths and your weaknesses....He will most certainly use BOTH for his Glory. Every single day you are there, you will experience His molding in your life. Pruning that which won't bear fruit and fertilizing that which will. I see a lot of fertilization going on.... Not saying that you are full of "fertilizer" or anything, but that you are full of Him, and that is all you need, son. Honestly. I can't wait for your next blog. Love, Robyn
