People were saved in the Old Testament who did not know the name of christ but in the New Testament the mystery of Christ became known, this was a turning point; it ended the time of ignorance and made Christ known. The New Testament teaches that the coming of Christ was a decisive turn in redemptive history, which makes Christ the focus of ALL saving faith. There are unsaved persons among unsaved people groups who are seeking after God in an extraordinary ways. God accepts this search as genuine, and God works wonders to bring that person to the Gospel of Jesus Christ the way he brought Peter to Cornelius´s house in Acts. Wow, I was just questioning and thinking about so many things yesterday and God revealed thses truths to me. Check out the book: "Let the Nations be Glad!" by John Piper. Sara storied with two teenage girls yesterday, she told them the story of the fall of man. Sara is leaving Saturday because she has shingles and has been really sick, so everyone be praying for her!

Last night Heather and I made pasta, fried cheese, and potatoe wedges. Yum!! How am I feeling today? Well I haven´t been home sick or anything, its actually been really good to get away in a sense. God´s been teaching me so much! He´s taught me that suffering is a big part of my christian walk and in my suffering, I am sharing Christ suffering. I can´t help what its going to be like when I get home and am caught up in my busy life. Everything seems so meaningless compared to Christ and sharing his word! Yesterday the Jeremy´s, Kelsey, and I went and got fire wood. We ended up hiking to the place that we went to when we went rock climbing, which is about four miles total. So I cared about fifteen pounds of firewood for two miles and up a huge hill, I thought I was going to pass out!!! Last night Jeremy Lou told two police officers the story of Creation, which was so awesome...even though he told it in Spanish so I couldn´t understand anything. ha! Last night I hide in the meeting room and jumped out and scared Kelsey and made her spill hot water everywhere. It was hilarious!
Today
The Mo team is here with us right now! There names are Tim, Jessica, and Mindy...I like them a lot. Tonight Sara and I are cooking dinner for ten people. Oh my! And Heather and Emily are teaching English classes at six to six people. Then Emily is telling the Creation story to Sophia and her husband (the people who own the store next to our house.) Its so exciting that we are actually starting to tell people bible stories! I have to go start making dinner for everyone. Keep praying everyone!!
-Love in Christ!
