I didn’t write yesterday because I was ubertired. We went to Turvo to check out the construction. Photos will follow. Turvo is about an hour away from CLM Entre Rios. The house is almost done and they expect to have kids in there around February. They still need missionaries. I wonder if God would like it if I were one…
Today was a good day. The weather was nice and I think we finished pouring at least the concrete base. I had a couple conversations with Lobo, and he told me when I come back he wants to speak to me in Portuguese. For the most part I don’t need any translators, but it definitely helps.
Tonight Balint made a barbecue for us. Tan bom! It was really tasty and there was tons of food. Mary, Edit, Katie, and Jake came as well. Good times were had.
Afterwards we had a bonfire. This thing was gigantic. We sang for a while and then I read from John 10:27-29 and talked about how special it is to be called of God. I encouraged everyone who hears God’s call to answer it and give their lives over to Him. I pray the message got through.
I wish I didn’t have loans to pay back, otherwise I might be tempted to sell my house and quit my job to work here.
I'm Jason, and I like to write.
