HOLA!!!

hey everyone!

we have been very busy this week! sorry about the lack of posts :/
let me start by telling you about what i thought this week was going to be like. as you know, i spent 10 weeks this summer here in matucana with andy and josh. i had an idea of what we were going to be doing and i had a few expectations. i was prepared for certain things. God again taught me to expect the unexpected. within the first day we got into matucana we found out that a church group that we left believing they would stay strong, ended up fizzling out within a couple weeks of us being gone. we were able to talk to the leader (elizabeth) and i believe she just became discouraged when some people didnt show up at a couple meetings and then called it quits. a few of us have talked to and tried to tell her that these things happen but the key is not to give up. we are still trying to help her and disciple herwhile we are here.
another surprise (as most of you have heard) Rosa became a Christian the first night we were here! WOOHOO! we´ve been talking to her all summer and she was always "busy" but that night she was open to what God wanted her to hear! she told us that wants to be baptised but not yet. she first wants to understand what it means and read about in the Bible. that is ok with me :).
this morning we were able to talk to the 4 and 5 year olds at their school and the principle told us we could come back anytime!
this afternoon will be our first time ever in the highschool, so please be praying that it goes well and that we will be able to go back next time!
thank you all for your prayers! i can´t wait to tell you all about it when i get home!
