This week I've been striving to think and love the way Christ would. If Christ wouldn{t be worred about something I try to let go of that stress, If Christ would do it I try to trust in him and just do it! This has been super helpful this week and I have been able to see more of what he sees in us  and feel more of the love he feels for us! As we strive to become more like him I know that we will recive peace, and confidence like it says in John 14 27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
One of the Recent converts we{ve been working with is named Cristopher. who just turned 12. When we first got here everyone including his mom and Grandma (he and his brother were raised by their Grandma) told us that though he looks super sweet that he is really reboulos. Well Hna McCoard and I were not ready to believe that! And the first time we meet him his Grandma started telling us all about how he leaves the house and she never know were he goes. Well we looked him strait in the eyes and told him that we don{t know one thing about his past and he has a whole new start with us! And you know what he is the sweetest kid I have ever meet. He just wants to love everyone and he just needs someone to be his friend. We soon realized that the reason he always sneaks out is because there is always contention in is house. We also learned that he had been cutting his wrists. But everytime we see him he has a big smile for us and in the church he is just so happy and content. I have seen a HUGE change in him as he finds this peace in Christ. I realized yesteday as we had a couple mins. to talk to him that we are really truely saving his life. A lonely kid in santiago... well thats not the kind of life Christ has planned for us we have way more potential than that! I am so grateful to help Christ help him. To help Christ help him reach his potential and to live a life full of joy and faith. This work isnt about numbers or attendence this work is about saving souls.
I pray that you all can be the diffrence in someones life : )
Sed de buen animo,
