For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Welcome May

We are in the middle of the hot season right now, and it is definitely HOT.  Usually between 85 and 95 everyday, you basically get used to being hot and sweaty all the time.  But one deliciously sweet thing that comes out of this season:  MANGOES!

Cold mango for breakfast on a hot morning... I am so going to miss this place!

Favorite quote from the week, from Andrea (5th):  Miss, don't exaggerate the cosas!   You might have had to be there to appreciate how funny it was, but her face and attitude while saying it in response to my teasing her about something was hilarious... and that was way too much explanation for it to be funny.... moving on....

Our Bible study with the girls at the hogar has been moved from Wednesday to Friday nights, and it occurred to me that I haven't really posted anything about the Bible study or how it's going.  We just started a new book called, "Mentiras que los Jovens Creen" (Lies that young people believe).  And it has taken with the girls really well!  We had one of the best discussion times last night talking about how the lies of the Devil have no power unless we start to believe them.  The first mistake that Eve might have made was not actually eating the fruit, but sitting herself beside the tree and creating the opportunity for the Devil to tempt her.  Then she listened to the lies, considered the lies, and believed the lies before acting on them.  Slippery slope.  Makes me think twice about all the garbage I let into my mind and heart everyday.  If the Bible teaches us that the little things matter, then maybe abstaining more from some of the junk isn't prudish, but wise...

44 days :-)
