Joe

Joe is the tall guy in the black t-shirt. He has been staying with us and we took him to camp last weekend. He's here for a year from Australia on a program called 'Extreme Walk'. On that program he lives with a Mexican family while he studies Spanish full-time. At some point he will transition from language studies to ministry.

On Tuesday evening we took him to his host family. This family have been friends of ours for many years now. They have hosted various teams and if you know them it will be no surprise that they had a super welcome planned. Besides the sign and the flag the national anthem was playing in the background and there was a huge meal. This is one of the most hospitable families we know and Joe will be well looked after. Which is nice - he's a great guy!

Pray that he will be able to pick up the language quickly and that he will greatly benefit from his time here.

On an emotional note our trip with Joe was after our weekly missionary meeting. During our prayer time Tabitha piped up after mummy with her first public prayer. After giving thanks for everyone in the group she said, "Amen!" and then proudly announced that she had prayed. Needless to say our prayer time finished at that point. It would have been a hard act to follow!
