A Day of Rest?

Today is Thursday? I am beginning to feel disconnected from time, but I know that school is only a few days away. We are all getting excited here at Champfluere.

This morning we spent some time with Jan Johnson on meditation. She led us through some exercises in which we meditated on the scriptures,Ps 23 and in Mark 9:14-28. We used "lectio divina," which is reading, reflecting, responding, and resting in God's word. The second exercise was called Ignation Meditation. With this exercise we imagined we were a part of the action in the Mark verses. Give it a try. I am looking forward to sharing some of what have learned from Jan.

We have had some exciting news! One of our school students from China asked for prayer regarding her parent's salvation. Just recently her parents visited from China. Both are communist party members working for the government. During the visit, the parents tried to argue against Christianity with their daughter. Her father began reading the the Bible in order to argue his case. Our God has a sense of humor indeed. Mom and Dad are now believers, baptized, and studying scripture through course work provided by their daughter. What a thrilling answer to prayer!

This afternoon we've had some time to unwind and rest in preparation to our busy days ahead. Thank you for your prayers regarding the school and this trip.

Correction from yesterday- Erin Agenjo's band website is "Ivory Owl," not white. At least I'm in the same color hue.

Love to you all,
Au Revoir

  1. What awesome news about the student from China! Praise God! We just had dinner with Dad tonight. Mike has a date with one of his daughters Friday night, so Dad and I are having a date night! He is taking me to the Far Western in Guadalupe. Miss you and love you! Jen
