New opportunity

Hello everyone, I pray all is well with you and your families. WE are doing very well here in Mexico. We have been asked to speak to a group of teenagers in a school on Friday. It will be the students Ross is going to be teaching english to next school year. The ages will be from 12-15yrs old. We were asked to share about ourselves and whatever else the Lord puts on our hearts. We are very excited about this! We have been praying for an opportunity like this. We are also going to be starting a prayer group at our home. We have people that come to our house often and ask us how to get closer to God. I know that we don't always have the right answers to many things but we have the best answer for this question (PRAYER)!! We want our generation to be known as a praying generation and not just for mooching. Prayer is the fastest connection to God. Unfortunately this is the thing that many christians don't do. If they do do it they usually are asking God for something or only allowing a one way conversaion about themselves. They never ask how His heart is or about His opinon. We have been teaching people here that prayer is like a conversation with on of your best friends. You can't always be asking things from a friend, you also have to listen and help that friend out. What makes a true relationship? Here is a website that can answer this question for you. www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Good-Friend We are truly so happy here. It makes us even happier knowing our daughters love it here also. Of course, we have days that we wish we could see our families and give them hugs and kisses but God has been faithful to us in this area. We know that God is watching over our families and is protecting them. One thing God taught me along time ago is to tell your loved ones that you love them every time you leave them. Even if it is just a overnight stay. I know my family knows that I love with much of my heart because I have learned to do this. I hope that you guys will also do this and if there is anything that hinders you from telling them this (something unforgiven) please pray that GOd will show you it. Because, the bible tells us in matthew 6:5-15 and Mark 11:22-26 that if we don't forgive then God will also not forgive us our sins. WOW I am goig to head out now. We have to start working on our presentation for the school. Peace AMANDA
