Hanging in There










It's been a difficult two weeks..."feeling" down physically and emotionally. I had recently lost a dear friend in Christ to the Lord and was grieving over her...selfish of me, because I know she is happy and blessed in the presence of the Lord. I know when I come home in November she won't be there to chauffeur me around but more to bless me with her love. Then I was exhausted from three wonderful groups that came to bless me and felt lost when the last group left me alone and friendless. (joke)

I've been asking God what's going on and my answer was "Get up Myra and do the next thing", so that's what I've been doing. I preached two Sunday's ago and felt like dry grass was in my month and one of ladies came forward and accepted Christ!! My God did that because I was not really there. How wonderful He is when we are at our weakest he shows Himself strong.

We had our first two literacy classes in these days.We are thankful for Raquel who volunteered to teach the class. Many of those attending are children ages 8 through 14 who have never studied or have dropped out. They are eager to learn and to have an opportunity to study next year. We are praying that with help from supporters we will able to send those children to school.

An update on Marcos. He is doing better after his accident. He is more alert every time I see him. Thank God. His mother, Alicia is on the mend after being beaten on her back with a heavy barrel by her husband. Please pray for this family.
