I’m sitting in a cybernet internet center. Imagine your old dial up connection and then sharing it with 15 other computers and users. I’ve been here for 40 minutes and have read 3 emails, written one, and read 13 pages out of my novel. But it’s cheap. The captial is a busy place in the daytime. There is a lot of noise at night. They say security is not good in the evening, but we still see many people out. Almost half the people are under 18 years old. Most are out of a job.
I went to two different worship times on Sunday. The singing was awesome and there were 90 people packed into a small brick classroom for the second worship time. You would have enjoyed it.
I’m staying in a convent. They have a series of rooms for visitors and the rent helps them keep things going. We spend our days in appointments, some teaching, much listening, and sharing what we know about Jesus with this deeply religious people.
In an our I have a study with a priest that my friend Barry met last year. We have talked for a couple of hours already, but he asked me to open the Bible with him today and teach him.
Thanks for your prayers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you use your internet time wisely, and don’t read any responses until you get back home. If so, then you will happy to know that you were prayed for. Any opportunity to open up the Word and share…no matter the participants…is such a blessing.

God bless you. You’ll be in my prayers.

I would love to just sit in the corner and listen in on your bible study with the priest.
