Our house.....a home!

Again due to the fantastic bunch of missionaries and so many lovely people back home and their gifts - our house is slowly turning into a home.

Tonight, one of the missionaries, Margaret, brought round some more things from our house. Hay cosas nuevas (I have new things!) We now have a cupboard for dining room stuff (name?); we have a TV stand to take the place of our old polystyrene one; we have two bedside cabinets; and finally a study desk.

We have been burdened recently to be happy in the work of God, and we have realised, and have been led in our quiet times to what is important, and what Christ felt was important. Christ was the ultimate people person, and to share Christ and to be like Christ, we must be "people" people.

It's why we are spending so much time learning the language, as a big part of being with people, is being able to talk to people. So when I am in class with the other students, and Julie is being tutored by Tanya (a non-Christian), please pray for us, that we will pick up the language and be able to use it effectively.

Also please pray, as we do, that we will all be focused "people" people.

This gift we received from a lady at home, has now taken pride of place in our hall and is the first thing we see when we enter our wee house. It really reminds us everyday of His faithfulness to us, and how we are to serve Him.
