Romans 10: 14-15

But how are they to call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

last tuesday night...

...we were at a church called betania, its a really big church. brother bill lead a study with the men, and miss carrie did one with the women. bill really did an amazing job.. he's a very gifted teacher/speaker. i believe he spoke on james ch 1 (counting all things as joy) he has a great testimony about getting in a bad car accident, and everyone there was just so into what he was saying... it was a great time.

visit from a friend...

hey guys. i haven't blogged in a while...sorry about that. this past week, one of my old college roommates was here visiting. What an absolute blessing it was to have wes here.. we haven't been able to hang out for a few years, so this was such great time to see a close friend and catch up and life. Wes just left this morning at 6:30. and the blessings keep coming too... tonight a team from my home church (including my dad) will be arriving and will be here for a week doing some mission stuff. i can't wait. i probably won't be able to blog at all this week, but i will definitely have plenty of pictures and videos to share with you all soon!


this is at the volcano puluhua yesterday...


this was from last sunday night.. wes' birthday was last sunday and ronnie's was monday. so we had a little celebration..
