I am overwhelmed with a sense of sadness for the people here. It seems there are so many that struggle constantly with the temptations around them. They have some sort of a commitment/knowledge of God and right and wrong, things start to get better for them, only to fall again. It seems there is such a hopelessness. Will they have the courage to get up again or will they just quit trying? Then there are those who are fully committed to serving God, yet they are constantly questioned about their beliefs and ridiculed or scoffed at. In our communities it seems it was such a small percentage of people facing these things and here it seems like the norm. I feel so inadequate for the task at hand. How do we reach the heart of these people for God?
On another note, it has been such a blessing to have Raquel here, not only with the practical help, but also it has been nice to have family here. It doesn’t seem so far away then. Thanks Raquel, even for your presence.
