We met with our supervisor from Ecuador for lunch on Sunday and we were glad to get to spend time with Russ. He was here to tell us about a place of need in Ecuador that we did not know about. Rocky and I prayed and ask our prartners to pray with us about changing assignment. We took the new location. We will be southern Ecuador and it will still be mountains but not as high elevation (3000-4000) some jungle, hence(Tarzan and Jane) We hope to talk to the masters couple that is there now. They will be coming back to the states in Feb. so we will have them for about a month after we get there.
Sunday night we had cultural worship and it was post modern. Different but I really like the music. This week we will have African and I heard our little Savannah really like it when she was here.
Monday afternoon we took our computers to encrypt and now Rocky's computer will not let him boot up so I guess it was encrypted well since no one even Rocky can not get to any information. Rocky is frustrated.
Tuesday we had a session on cultural shock and then we had lunch with our small group to discuss what cultrual shock we might be having at FPO and I did not think that I was having any but as the afternoon wore on Father showed me several things that I was frustrated with.
We are learning so much!!! It is much but it is good. I could not even think about going to the field without all of this info.
Wednesday we learned about the persecuted church. Think of Joesph sold by his brothers and thrown into jail and then think about the fact that we cannot ask for Joesph to get out of jail and allow so many others to die of starvation. We do not see the big picture!
( Find out what God is doing and be apart of it)
Father I pray that I will be obedient and not pray for an easy life just obedience.
80 percent of believers worldwide are persecuted. When the world turns on you for bringing Jesus just say YES!
We had cultural mail day and we on the mail team just gave everyone a really hard time before they were allowed to check their mail. We were asking for 2 IDS so they were having to go back to there quad to get a second one and some people we show favoritism towards and just let them in. One lady sang I am a little tea pot. we got chocolate and we were given .50 which will go to Lottie Moon. I saw a Journeymen with a t-shirt on that had I LOVE LOTTIE.
Rocky and I got through at 3 several afternoons this week and we rushed to the quad and took a nap.
Friday afternoon we had immunizations and Rocky and I got 3 and then we went to Richmond to the Lab and got a HIV screening for our Ecuador visa and then we eat at Red Lobster and made a walmart run before we came back to the farm.
Saturday is a day of rest. I got to do a little bit of hair today and it felt good. Also we had good hard rain all afternoon. we just enjoyed the rain out our kitchen window/door.
