I met with Rosendo last night and I thought I would at least share with you one of the things that we talked about. First let me say that Rosendo is a gentleman who was coming to La Roca church for about a year. He was coming without his wife knowing about it. Then to keep piece in the family he stopped coming because he was having difficulties with his wife who is extremely Catholic along with her family who do not to even discuss "Christianity" or study the bible. So like I said previously, Rosendo asked if we could spend time doing the study. So last night I was not sure how it was going to go. We discussed various scriptures about counting the cost and taking up our crosses. He mentioned that he needs to start studying the bible with family. I suggested that he start with the sermon on the mount. It was where Jesus addressed the people that it was not about appearances but about the heart. I made reference to the part about a man who looks at a women, commits adultery in his heart. Rosendo then brought up the trip to Guadalajara that we took a week before Levi was born over 3 years ago now. I was a little unsure of what this had to do with this scripture? He then reminded me of when we were driving in the car, I had a newspaper I wanted to read. It had inappropriately dressed women in advertisements throughout. I ended up giving the newspaper to Jessie where she began to rip out the advertisements and then gave it back to me. He said, "I didn't understand what you were doing at the time. Later I understood you were trying to keep yourself pure." Here I was talking to this guy who remembered something so small yet so profound 3 1/2 years later. He was bringing it up in a conversation. It was again one of these moments that you realize you never know what you do that will impact people. I didn't even remember doing it, until he started telling me the story. I was encouraged by our conversation last night. 2 hours went by very quickly. If last night was any indication of what the coming weeks hold, I am excited and encouraged. Please pray for him especially that he would count the cost of following Jesus.
