Aside from the VBS

Thursday was a long day for Andrew. He went straight from the VBS to La Raza to get ready for the service in the evening. It was an interesting night with a couple of new people. One of the great things that is happening is that people are talking a lot after the service and about things that really matter.

Andrew was on door duty inviting people on the street to go in. He saw some young people (early 20s) who seemed to have darker skin than most here. When he began to talk with them he realised they weren't from here. They turned out to be Haitian. One is a Christian who is looking for a church and the others aren't Christians yet. It's exciting as Colleen who works with us here on the field has also served in Haiti and the Christian girl had heard of OMS International. We're hoping Colleen will be able to go along on Thursday to meet these folk who really want to meet her. It will be nice for them to have someone they can talk with in their own language as they are still learning Spanish.

Isn't it a small world?!

We're praying that the church in La Raza may become a home for the girl who is a Christian and that it may prove to be the place where the guys find Christ.

Health-wise Oscar and Tabitha seem to be doing better. Tabitha has been enjoying playing with the next-door neighbours just about every day and seems to have much more energy. One day Oscar had 4 nappy/diaper changes before 9am so there is still some improvement needed there but hopefully having more of a routine this week and being around home more we will be able to control his diet better and the report will be better too!
