Alma went with me for the first time as I was out sharing the Gospel last week. To be honest I was a little nervous having her with me because its pretty difficult to get around for one. But there was no turning her back. The area is also pretty infamous for its criminal activities as well. We had a visitor last week at Triumph Lutheran church in Nogales Arizona, after the service he he said he'd like to come to our church on the Mexican side, because I mentioned it in my sermon. He said that he worked for the American embassy there in Nogales Arizona Sonora. As I was giving him directions, I told him it was in Buenos Aires, then he said, "oh, I've been told I can go anywhere in Nogales... exept Buenos Aires, it's too dangerous there. Poo! That ended that, there was no talking him into it. Well, as Alma and I visited, we didn't really find anyone open to the Gospel, until we climbed way up high. We found a woman by the name of Lucy just waiting for us. It was then I was so glad I had Alma with me, for I wouldn't have been able to share with Lucy without her. We had such a good time, Lucy pulled out some old chairs and there we were, on the mountain top, high above the tribulations below, sharing of Him, whom it seemed like we could touch there in the sky. I knew Almita would be a natural once we got started. And by the time we came around to inviting Lucy to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior, I prayed for her, then she prayed by herself, asking Gods forgiveness and for Jesus to come into her heart and life. Then Alma prayed for her growth and family, it was wonderful. I went back later with Patti, one of the sisters from our church to give her a simple Bible study and a bag of vegetables Alma sent with me.

Pray for all the changes coming for Alma and I. For Gods clear direction about her job, our candidacy with the World Mission Prayer League, and the conference with the Mexican Lutheran Alliance in April.
