DAY 7

DAY 7

Yikes....my record of writing three days in a row isn't going any further at this point! But hey, i'm doing pretty good! :) (I have to stay positive so I keep writing!)

Ok, so I'm going to have to give a larger update because there are more days to fill you in on! The question is this.....do I remember? In a way this week has felt like a month.....amazing how much you can pack into a week's time! And then there's the language thing going on, I have been thinking in two languages all week, mostly Spanish though, so now writing in English is feeling a little weird! Thank goodness for spell check in both languages for those of us who just start typing and then realize we're in the wrong language! Oh man....

Right....update, I need to do that yet! Once again, positive, awesome, God-Inspired teaching has been going on here at CEC and everyone is being blessed. The teachers are being blessed not only by input from the Pastors/students, but also by each other as they sit in on other classes. There is openness among the pastors that we prayed for and that we can't help but praise God for. There has been sharing of some of the hardest, most painful things people have gone through, there have been tears, there has been affirmation of one another, and encouragement! There is a unity among our group that only comes from being in the same family of God, and sharing with one another! We have well educated pastors and we have pastors that come from very small villages that have no education by middle school! But they all have one thing in common....their love the the Lord, their dedication to the family of God, and their passion for ministry! WOW!

And so we have continued on after a couple day's break. It was decided that we needed some time of rest during the weekend, so Saturday after lunch was free until we started again this morning. And as many of the pastors are needing to get back to their homes, and they're getting overloaded with information, we have decided that our seminar will end on Wednesday instead of Friday! Our team of “directors” here is awesome and open to changes....as our family motto goes, “if you aren't flexible, you get bent out of shape!” And so with that in mind, we're always willing to change things here if it's for the best....we're learning so much! And with that I will leave you for today. I will however translate some comments by a couple of the pastors that had to leave already, but I will have that for you tomorrow. This is long as it is! Thank you for those of you who have been following along....and for all your prayers! We appreciate everyone who is apart of the work here in Mexico! God bless, until next time!
