Visits

Last week beto and I went to visit a sister from the church. Her husband recently left to go to the states. At our prayer service last Tuesday we´d heard that he had encountered extreme difficulties so the next day she was on our minds. She has an 11 year old, a 6 year old, and a 1 year old, all girls. they live just down the road from us. We arrived unannounced, which is the only way pretty much. She was so grateful and we had a lovely, spirit filled visit, reading some scriptures, praying for her and over her youngest who´s been realy sick with asthma and other respiratory problems.

As we were about to leave she offered us lunch and as we were enjoying her really delicious meal, seriousy the best beans i think i´ve ever had! and handmade corn tortillas(it´s lunch time as i write this, can you tell?), she told us that God had really planned the visit today because usually her youngest sleeps maybe half an hour a day for a nap, but that day she somehow slept 3 hours! (I told her since it was her first birthday, which we found out when we arrived, that the shock of being one year older just tuckered her all out!) So she had time to make all the food at a nice pace, not really rushed like usual, and have enough food to invite us.

I love seeing how God works like that! Please be in prayer for Raquel and her three daughters and her husband Freddie.

  1. Why did her husband go to the states and for how long? She and her family will be in my prayers. That is so amazing that her baby slept so long so that she could prepare a meal for the two of you. I love beans! :)
