AFTERNOON VISIT

Some of you are interested on what happened last evening at our visit. Francisco is the care taker of a property belonging to a wealthy national. It is a large property with two houses, horse stable, goats stable, geese, even a pond. It is very beautiful. If we go back there again, I will be sure to take our camera. They gave us a tour of the property while there still was some daylight. They love living there. We even had a tour of the owner`s house. It reminded me of Tarzan´s tree house, very rustic and open to the elements, even though it has electricity and running water.

This couple has lived together for many years, but as I said before, it seems that Francisco wants to get married, and he is trying to change their ways. I read the parable of the prodigal son to them, explaining some points as I read. While I was reading, another man who attends church with Francisco showed up and stayed to visit. During our conversation which followed, Luz told us that she had accepted Jesus as a young girl of thirteen, and she knows that she does not have to do it again; however, she told us that Francisco has never accepted Jesus as his Savior! Well, that was a surprise. We thought it was the other way around. We presented the plan of salvation to them, but told them that we were not about arm-twisting. They had the information and had to make their own decisions. We stayed a long time talking about repenting, salvation, and how the Lord takes us just as we are, etc.  We invited them again to the meeting on Saturday, and to church on Sunday. Please pray the His word won´t return void.

By the time we left, it was 7:30, raining hard, and pitch black. Turning the car around, we even had a hard time locating the way out of the farm. We made it safely inside the hacienda. It is only about a mile from the farm, but with the ruts on the road, the rain and the darkness, it feels a lot farther. It was so dark that even with the high beams you are not sure where you are. At one point inside the hacienda, we knew that we had to turn right, and John said: "I am just turning right and hoping that the road is there!" You have to have a sense of humor.

The German Bakery truck just arrived! Tuesdays' highlight! Here are some pictures:
