BE LOVED
Well, I have yet to make it to the internet but I am using some ones computer to type and put down some thoughts. This is an attempt to keep people up to date on things here. I am well, except for a few extra visits to the Bathroom as of late. I ate a hamburgure yesterday ( a huge treat here) and my body seems to not know what to do with that. but this too will pass. hheee hee. Okay enough of that buisness.

So lets see what I can fill you in on from halfway around the world. Well I went on another outreach it was just a one nighter. Drive there set up, walk around and invite people to come see the film and hear about Jesus, show the film, we prayed while the film was going (the jesus film in their mother tounge which was Macuwa this time). And then they preach for a bit. The head guy that night was joking around about making my leader preach, she was unprepared and not wanting to at all. Which I didn't blame her, being asked moments before doesn't give you much time to think. And as I am standing there thinking, man that sucks for her, but if it was me what would I say. Well at that moment the guy points to me and says- you come here. There was no persuading him he was insistant, and so I thought, he won't let up and we are going to make a sceane so I went AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! they handed me the mic and stared at me. no prompting or anything. So I asked can I speak in English? He said yeah. That was all my instruction.
So I started to tell of when I was a little girl. My mother and I were talking and she was telling me about God. I had many questions like where did the trees come from and where did the earth come from, who made them, and who made people. She said God did. And then she went on to tell me how God had one son, and He loved His son so much. It was His only child. And then she told me about sins, and how we all do things wrong and how that makes us feel bad. She asked me if I wanted to be forgiven of my sins, to get rid of them. I said yeah, how can I do that. She told me that Jesus can take them away and I dont' have to feel bad anymore about them. I thought can get rid of them, I can be forgiven. I said okay I want that. And I told the poeple how God's son was killed, He was murdered. But He did nothing worng. But He was mudered so he could forgive me of my sins. That He loved me. He loved me so much that He died for me. Then went on to say how He died for you (the poeple of the village, and you too at home). The people barely moved during most of this. I said the world likes to tell us lies that we are not important an we are not specail or we are not loved. But that is not true because, God loved us so much that He gave His one son. His one son and He was killed. But He chose to do this becasue He loves us. He loves you. So don't let the world tell you that you are not specail or not loved, you are so loved.
And that is all I can remember about my little sermon in the village. The guy translated into portugese and then another person in to Macuwa. So keeping a train of thought was so hard, cause you had to pause after every few words. But I went on to ask if any of these people wanted to meet Jesus tonight. He wanted to meet them. He wanted to talk to them, to have a realtioship. I think about 10 people or more raised their hands to recive Christ. And then we prayed. The main guy spoke some more and invited them to the Lord in a more swave way. So we got to pray over them. It was a cool eperience. And at the time I was nervouse to speak but quickly chilled out and felt the need to let them know they are so loved. Such a need to let them really know they are loved and were not insignifigant or alone. I told them, that God sees them, He sees them when they get up He sees them when they go to sleep He sees them during the day. And He is aiting to talk to them. He can't wait to talk to them actually.

One more cool thing, while the movie was going we were praying and just asking the Holy Spirit to come. I was asking please come and fill us again. While this was happening and I went over to a freind and was told she had a a really bad headache. So we layed hands on her and prayed for her. I felt my hand become warm and we kept praying. And after a bit asked how was it? She said better. I was so excited to hear that. And earlier we prayed over a lady in the village who said she was sick and so we laid hands on her and prayed for her and my hand was warm again (a very suttle thing). But after we asked how do you feel and you could see she felt better. It was an exciting night.

The moon was out and full, it lit up the sky and filled everything with a blue light. It was a great privillage. Is it all easy here, no there were people who thought we were nuts, and laughed, people who walked away, people who were synical. But as I was reminded by some one yesterday, wheather you see blind eyes open or a soul come to meet there maker. Both are mericals. Mericals can come and go but a soul who meets there maker is a thing of awe. So I am excited about those who wanted to talk with their maker.
