OK, I have so much more to share with you about our mini-vacation and mission meeting and life in general, but first I had to hop on and share this with you!! Get ready to praise GOD!! 

First, just so you know, we have found a wonderful house helper, she is mainly a "Hope helper" as Hope is just so demanding a lot of the time- our sweet Maria really helps watch Hope to free me up to school, cook, laundry, etc. Anyway, she is awesome and is a huge help to our family!! She isn't a believer (yet!!) and we have prayed and prayed for her! Caleb has really been praying for her even and talks often how great it will be the day when she becomes a Christian (I love his faith!!). 

OK, so just hang on to that info. a minute. 

We're back from the market today, unloading the truck and we see these 2 believers who are from our village but live in California. They are Christians and came down for a few weeks to encourage the local church here! So, we see them and are chatting in front of the house when a neighbor from a bit farther up the road passes and asks me to sell her some lemons from our tree.  I told her no, please just come on and get some!! Well, she is talking with the CA believers and then asks if we are pastors, too!! John and I jump in to say No!! But, yes we are Christians!! She was like, "Oh, how nice." Then she tells John . . .  ok, get ready, this is the best part. . .  she says, "I AM THIRSTY TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD!"  WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I mean, I freaked (when John told me, not in front of her- you know, we don't want to scare them off!!) :)!!

Then John tells me this in front of our Maria (we were in the kitchen).  And Maria starts talking about how SHE, TOO, WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED IN HEARING MORE FROM THE WORD OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am trying so hard to play it cool, while I am sneaking wild eyes and huge grins to John behind her back!! :) PRAISE GOD!!

We obviously told them both that we would love to teach them some stories from the Bible!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!! We actually were able to go on with Maria a bit and we were talking about our sin and how good it feels to be forgiven! She even said that her husband had interest, too, in learning more from the Bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Please join us in PRAISING GOD for these ladies and how He is clearly drawing them to Himself!

Please pray for us as we begin the joyous task of sharing God's Story with these ladies and hopefully, their families, too!!

THANK YOU!!

After some time away from blogging, Jenny and I are returning to the 'blogging world' with a fresh new approach!  Rather than us each mantaining our own individual blogs, we are going to both contribute to the blog here at McLambFamily.net!  Hopefully this means the time between posts won't be quite so long (though I, for one, am not making any promises!).   Also, for all you google reader users, the new blog will work just fine.  Just go over to the new blog and click "subscribe" in your bookmarks.

So that you know who has written what, each post will be categorized as either "John" or "Jenny".  Happy Reading!
