Hurray!

Today Daisy and I met to review our schedule for next week’s team.  Hurray! 

Hurray because we’ve got great teams coming in the next weeks. 

But, an even bigger Hurray because Daisy’s coming back! 

Praise God!  Her surgery and recovery have gone well, although she’ll still need to pace herself for the first while.  Please pray for her in this, as it won’t be easy.  I know all the folks in El Callejon have missed her – possibly even more than I have!  So, they’ll all want to stop in and chat.  That’s wonderful, of course, but also tiring. 

Please pray for wisdom to take time to rest when she is feeling exhausted. 

As I mentioned, we have groups coming soon.  In fact, starting next week, we’ll have four weeks of one-week outreaches.  Several of the groups are college and university students taking their Spring Breaks to serve.  Others are adults, giving of their time to come and minister as well. 

We can’t wait to see how Jesus meets us as we spend time together sharing our love for Him in El Callejon!

We’re thrilled that Lee will be returning to the Social Work site next week along with three other women.  They are coming with an organization called Musicianaries, which uses music to reach the unreached for Jesus.  (Check out Lee’s guest post on this blog!) 

It’s always a blessing for us to hear how God has been at work in the lives of those who come down on outreaches.  It’s an encouragement, too.  At times, our work can be frustrating and heart-wrenching.  It gives us hope to hear others’ stories of God’s faithfulness in the midst of struggles. 

Oh, yeah, and it’s just plain fun to get to meet new (and returning!!) friends in Christ!  What a gift from our amazing God.  It’s enough that He has saved us through Jesus, but He gives us blessing upon blessing in the relationships we share.  He is truly worthy of all of our lives!!

We look forward to sharing more stories and pictures in the coming weeks.  In the meantime, I’ll be finishing my ‘sola’ month in El Callejon.  It’s definitely been challenging! 

But, God is so good, and I know that He has been with me, just as He’s been with Daisy in her time away.  How good it will be to be together again, serving our great God!
