Did You Know That Women Speak More Words in a Day Then Men Do????????

...Especially THIS woman!

You know when you think back on something that did, you have to laugh at yourself cuz it hindsight, it was really dumb, hilarious or weird? Well, that's how I feel this morning!

Yesterday, Darla got back from her mission conference in Alabama. I was soooooo happy to see her! I didn't realize exactly how happy until she offered to go grocery shopping with me. The entire trip, we chatted and laughed as though we were simply together all the time.....well, I chatted! I think I made up for all the words women speak in a week, in ONE, two-hour shopping trip!!!!!!!

I was almost out of breath by the time we got back! I found it so comical that I felt like I really hadn't said all that much with being the only woman in the house for the last week. Not to mention both Rick and Doug are sports nuts, so guess what the topic has been around here? - Golf, olympics, golf and olympics! Doesn't turn my crank much. I can't even spell John Daly's name right, never mind know all the scores and shots he and everyone else took at the PGA! LOL. Well, I'm glad Mr. Daly may now have gotten his Bible! His girlfriend was really curious and leafing through it on the course. It's as close as we'll ever get to sharing Jesus with him and his girlfriend, so please pray that the Bible will make an impact and that God will stir his heart, and when it stirs, that God will send Godly men and women near by at exactly the right moment!

This morning Darla is leading a bible study. It should feel familiar to me, cuz it's 'Esther.' I am looking forward to meeting women who are hungering for the Lord and growing through challenging study.

Here and there over the last week, discussion has come up about the churches I want to visit and find information for to label on our Spanish material in the warehouse. I have begun to realize that just like where we live, not all churches are places you would point people to. We have to be so careful, making sure that they are Christ-centred churches and not tradition-centred. This comes in to play even more out here, because much of the religion here is a mixture of catholic and Mayan. And by now, I'm sure with all the new age movements, it hasn't taken long to throw that in the mix too! Please pray that the churches we connect with will be safe places that people can go to and be nurtured in their faith.

We'll we had quite the thunder storm last night, so the humdity is so high and so "thick" that it feels like you have to cut your way through it. It really hot this morning, but really cloudy to, so who knows what we're in for!
