Teaching in Honduras
We went to bring Jeimy and Astrid and Ivan to church and,
after fishing through all of the excuses of no clothes and whatnot, they just
said they don’t want to come. They [told us] we can go visit them every day if
we want, but they don’t want to come to church. It was pretty hard to listen to,
but we can’t change the desires of their hearts. At lunch, we took some time to
pray as companions and we just plead that the Lord would let the Spirit touch
their hearts and help us to know what we could do so that they understand why
they need to go to church.
At night, we went to teach them and, without even asking,
Astrid said that they will never ever miss another Sunday in their lives. They
said they promised to be in church no matter what happened. We were super
shocked and so I asked Astrid why. She said the whole hour that they would have
been at church she just felt something in her heart. Jeimy said the same thing
and they said they knew everything we had taught was true. I was literally
amazed. That’s the lesson I learned this week: That if we have faith in the Lord
and put our trust completely in Him, He will work the change of heart in the
people.
