There
Let’s start with there–there being Mexico. Briana recently wrote:
This past week we had two California teams on the ranch. One doing construction ministry and the other doing evangelism/church ministry. It was fun to have lots of people here but it was also hard work. This week is an off week so we are heading to other areas of Mexico to visit other YUGO sites and then up to San Diego for a few days to relax before the most intense week of the whole summer–Mexico to Mexico Week. There will be almost 200 Mexican nationals on the ranch that will be reaching out into the surrounding communities. Sending out Mexican people to spread the gospel in the own country is the most effective form of evangelism and gives them a foundation for evangelism and future missions. It’s really exciting what God is doing through organizations like YUGO.
She also talked about relationships growing strong with staff members and other interns. Her time there is half spent. It has been a wonderful experience for her.
Here
The AC is running since late morning Thursday. We are enjoying a break from the oppressive heat and humidity that has been on us most of this week. It should be a bit cooler today. I’m counting on that. I plan to mow the lawn starting in the morning. (That’s why I wrote this last night and stuck it in the queue.)
Our house guests, the Saavedras, were with us for only one night. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful visit with them and got caught up on family news and happenings. I’m sure they were glad to escape the oven that was our house during their stay with us. Does anyone know why those mechanical systems develop problems at the least convenient times?
I’m looking forward to a good night’s sleep as I write this Thursday night. Despite the house being open and fans blowing all Wednesday night, it was very warm. The dew point was in the mid 70s, and that means the temperature did not fall below that. Much better outlook for tonight (Thursday), and did I tell you the AC is working?
Hope you have a great weekend.
Can't even imagine not having air in this oppressive heat. I think I would have grabbed the cats and went to a friend's house–it was just dangerously hot here.
and folks were C R A B B Y. Very crabby–everywhere we went. Not fun.
Glad it is working again!
I hear Alaska is fast becoming the no1 destination spot for Americans hot hot hot.
The heat is just beyond bearing. I've been swimming every day and that doesn't even cool me down enough. Fans all the time at home.
I'm glad B can stand Mexico- I'm sure I couldn't. She's really someone to be proud of.
ha- my verification word is ovensf
Whew, ya! News from Brianna is great; hoping she does well in the heat! I've studied about indigenous evangelism in other countries, and it's amazing how effective it is. Hope y'all do well in the heat out your way; take it easy! Over here, it was 86 degrees at 10:30 last night!
I'm glad your AC is working again. Stay comfortable
Doubt I would have slept much the past several nights without a/c. I'm getting so soft and spoiled.
That's really interesting, that the Mexican to Mexican evangelism is the most effective. Reminds me of Paul in the Book of Acts, how he often evangelized to a few locals, made them elders, and sent them to their people to preach the gospel. 🙂
Glad your AC is working. I finally got a window unit, AC for the very first time. I dare not run it more than a few hours per day, this is New York, after all. Energy prices are higher than the thermometer readings…
VERY glad to hear the heat has broken your way. It means relief is heading due east. Yay.
