Hungry

Okay, not me, well, me too but that is not who I am talking about. Tonight we had a wonderful discussion with our group about baptism. They asked a million questions and we were there for 3 hours discussing different aspects of it. They are sooo hungry to know what the Word of God says about everything. Even if it goes against what they have been taught all of their life. We have a baptism scheduled for November 14th. Before tonight we weren't sure how many we were going to have being baptized but we just scheduled it and hoped for the best. After our talk two women came forward and said they wanted to give their hearts to the Lord and be baptized. One of the women is blind so getting her into a pool with her native clothing on could prove to be a challenge. She isn't exactly healthy right now so please pray that she will be well on the 14th for the baptism. We are excited!

So, earlier I posted that when God closes one door He opens another one. Well, on the way home Greg decided to stop in another village to get a coke. He started talking to the owner of the store and found out he was a Christian. He is going to ask the leaders of his village if we could live there in his village. He also mentioned that his brother is a pastor in the US and has a home there that he was building but never finished. Hmmm.... he said he would ask his brother if he would be interested in renting us his home. So, the door wasn't shut very long before He opened another one. That is just like Him. I just fall in love with Him more and more everyday! I don't know if this door will end up shut as well, but I just love that He always gives us hope for tomorrow. So, for now we are praying about living in what we will call Saint Tommy. So we didn't "catch wind", maybe we will catch" Saint Tommy!" I know that sounds corny but it is late and we didn't get home from church until 10:30pm and I am slap happy and well.... just go with it! Hope you are as happy as I am! Love you! Missy
