Nuestra cita Our date

Esta noche, Robin y yo teniamos una cita. Fue muy bueno. Tomamos cena y despues, fuimos a una libreria. Conoci a una senora que estaba trabajanado alla quien es de Peru. Ella es de Ica. La dije un poquito sobre nuestro viaje a Peru y que queremos movir alla proximo ano. La dije sobre Jesu-Cristo y que queremos ir alla para ayudar la gente conocer a El mejor. Fue una conversacion muy buena. No tenemos esperar que vivir en Peru para ministrar a Peruanos.

Tonight, Robin and I had a date. It was very nice. We had dinner and afterwards, we went to a bookstore. I met a woman that was working there who was from Peru. She is from Ica. I told her a little about our trip to Peru and that we want to move there next year. I told her about Jesus Christ and that we want to go there to help the people to know Him better. It was a very good conversation. We don't have to wait to live in Peru to minister to Peruvians.

Una nueva creacion A new creation

Por lo tanto, si alguno esta en Cristo, es una nueva creacion. !Lo viejo ha pasado, ha llegado ya lo nuevo! Todo esto proviene de Dios, quien por medio de Cristo nos reconcilio consigo mismo y nos dio el ministerio de la reconciliacion: esto es que in Cristo, Dios estaba reconciliando al mundo consigo mismo, no tomandole en cuenta sus pecados y encargandonos a nosotros el mensaje de la reconciliacion.
2 Corintios 5:17-19

Me encanta estos versiculos. Los oigo a un estudia de la biblia por mujeres dos noches pasado. Nunca los habia leido en esta manera antes, que Dios nos dio el ministerio de la reconciliacion. Por supuesto, es significado de estar correcto con Dios, de estar perdonado de nuestos pecados. Tambien, creo que nececitamos estar reconciliando con nuestros hermanos en Cristo. ?Como le me aplica a mi vida?

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creacion; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the messsage of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19

I love these verses. I heard them at a women's Bible study 2 nights ago. I had never read them in this way before, that God gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Of course, it means being right with God, being forgiven of our sins. I also think that we need to be reconciling with our brothers and sisters in Christ. How does this apply to my own life?

Home from Peru A Casa de Peru

Estamos a casa despues un buen viaje. Estoy un poquito triste porque no queria salir. Estoy muy emocionada con todas las cosas ha pasado. Hoy dia he estado orando mucho por la gente en Peru, especialmente mis amigos, mis hermanos en la iglesia. Solamente un ano mas hasta estaremos misioneros. Esperando es muy dificil con todas mis emociones. Ahora, un ano parece muy largo, pero, yo se que Dios le hacera. Dios es muy bueno.

We are back home after a good trip. I am a little sad because I didn't want to leave. I'm very emotional with all the things that have happened. Today I have been praying a lot for the people in Peru, especially my friends, my brothers and sisters in the church there. Only one more year until we will be missionaries. Waiting is very difficult with all of my emotions. Right now, one year seems very long, but I know that God will do it. God is very good.

Me and Liam


At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:1-4

En ese momento los discipulos se acercaron a Jesus y le preguntaron: -?Quien es el mas importante en el reino de los cielos? El llamo a un nino y los puso en medio de ellos. Entonces dijo: -Les aseguro que a menos que ustedes cambien y se vuelvan como ninos, no entraran en el reino de los cielos. Por tanto, el que se humilla como este nino sera el mas grande en el reino de los cielos. Mateo 18:1-4

Another fundraiser Levantando fondos otra vez


Cole, Matt, Chris, Tracy, Robin, Allie, and Joe Tracy, Robin, and Doug

We had another fundraiser at Coldstone, a local ice cream shop. We got to mix ice cream and sing silly songs for tips. All the money raised is going to missions in Peru. A ton of people came out from the church to support us. We had a blast!

Running away Huyendo

The police came through my neighborhood this morning. The power had gone out, so many of us were outside. The police man said to go inside because there was a man who had run away from a crime and they were looking for him in the neighborhood. As I listen to the helicopter flying by searching for him, I am reminded of a verse. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. Christ died for us when we were in the midst of our sin. We were guilty and perhaps running away from Him. And still, He laid down His life for us.

La policia vino por entre mi barrio esta manana. No era electricidad, conque habia muchos vecinos estaban afuera. La policia dijo ir dentro porque habia un hombre que ha escapado de un crimen y ellos estaban buscando por el en el barrio. Mientras escuchando al helicoptero en busca de el, estoy recordando un verso. "Pero Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros en esto: en que cuando todavia eramos pecadores, Cristo murio por nosotros." Romanos 5:8. Cristo murio por nosotros cuando eramos pecadores. Estabamos culpable y quizas huyendo de El. Y todavia, El dio su vida por nosotros.
