testimony

there may be a bit of confusion about the prayer request for my testimony. it's not to talk about me but about the people i have seen and places i have been to. about the poverty in costa rica. my teacher lives in the san jose area and said he was not aware of the living conditions as i described to him. children that are hungry because there is no food and no money to buy food. a grandmother with several grandchildren living in a bamboo house with dirt floors, no power, no doors, and torn black plastic for one wall that blows about with the wind. a cluster of 6 or 7 families sharing 1 water pipe because there is no money for everyone to pay for their own.

he hadn't seen or heard about the family i saw on tv at christmas that lived in squalor and darkness underground. with rats, excrement, garbage, no light.

his church wants to do missionary work. in el salvador, guatemala, honduras. he wants people in his church to hear that people in costa rica need help.

i want them to hear too.

susy help! come back!

This just gets better all the time.

For real... what an awesome God to place you in that spot, for this time.
