Cheeky Monkey ?!?!

Well, thanks to my family roots, it only took a day and a half for me to be called "cheeky." In the states you all would know that as a smarty pants. I guess I'll have to tell the story of calling the lady a horse since Robert went and told on me.

Robert and Troy went inside a bank to take care of some money issues, and left me, Joshua (Yes, yet another Josh has been added to my life. Is this some sort of plague? Or is God going easy on me since I'm horrible with names?), and a journeyman here named Amy (I think?!) sitting in the van. We were sitting there talking about some of our silly fears like mine about having to have the window cracked everytime I'm in the car. So we open the sliding door to let the breeze in for me, and a start hearing this noise. "Clip clop clip clop." So I say aloud to my aduience of two, "Hey, that sounds like a horse." And what happens........? A lady walks by the open door right at the exact moment that I say it. Yes, I really stuck my foot in my mouth, because of course I had to be in a country where they speak what? Yes, ENGLISH!!! Amy said that right after I said it the lady looked into the van. Josh said that he saw her to and that he just tried to play it off.

So just two days in Wales and I'm a Cheeky monkey that has foot-in-mouth diease. Horrible I tell ya, just horrible.

On the serious side of things. I must confess I feel I'm being led to stay here forever. My little Leprechaun, might have been onto something when he said that he'd never see me again. I have fallen in love with the people here. There are so many cultures here that would not get to hear about Jesus if they lived in their homeland instead of Wales. But here in Wales we can openly minister to them. This is such a blessing! Not having to hide out, but to be out and about getting to know people and sharing my faith with them. Thank You Lord, for everything you are doing here in Wales. Thank You for the church that me and Robert will be working with and for. Help us to be servants not only to You but to them as well. Break us and makes us humble while we are here. Let us not cut ourselves off from You with our foolish pride. I pray for Hannah, Father that You would use me to show her You. She's looking for something to feel that void, I can see that in her. I pray that she would fill that void with Christ.

I would like to ask you all to pray for our church and pray for Hannah and the other kids that come out to the computer club we have at the church. The church wants to start up a youth ministry in the church. And as you all know to do that you must have youth. Right now the church only has youth coming to the computer club. Hannah has told me that she will be in church on this Sunday, so please be in prayer that she will hear God and choose to follow Him. I love you guys and gals! Never forget that! Eemeber to pray first worry never! Give all your cares to God, He will take care of them no matter how small or how large God can handle it! Tata!
