Hello to you all who visit our blog. These past few days, I have good intentions of posting here. Last week, Jessie and I sat down to work through my schedule. It is hard thing to do, to put down into words what a Pastor/Missionary does on a weekly basis. It was an eye opening experience for us. My time is filled. From various different things through out the week like preparing my sermon for Sundays, weekly bible study, various errands for the church, coffee house and family, disciplining people and not to mention being a husband and father. I am learning to be more selective on when I meet with people. Before it was more sporadic. I am finding though, having things written down is less stressful trying to remember everything. I have at times have tried to stick to a schedule but couldn't hold on to it very long. I am now trying to get more organized as I am dealing with a group coming down in September, plus a huge painting project at the center.
This past week, I had the opportunity to meet with a young guy from church about going to school. Just talking through some of the benefits and disadvantages of going off to school, what it came down to was that if he was to go back to his home town where he would study, he would be pulled back into the partying scene he had come out of. To stay in Autlan, he could study as well but be surround by brothers and sisters in Christ who would help him deep his walk with the Lord. It is more difficult way to walk but more beneficial in the long run. He has come to know the Lord in the last year so there are still tendency to return back to the way of life before. This is an important time in his life. Please continue to pray for him as God draws him closer to Himself.
