Catch the Fire.

Hello, I am sorry that it has been awhile since I have had time to write. Thank you Jesus that my beautiful wife is here for me, keeping up on all this. We have been so busy with the donations at AINDOC, and now for the last week, this week, and next week I am teaching english in the school system here (PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!!!!!!) J/K. It actually has been very great. We were talking about rock stars the other day and there assignment was to write down what rock stars do, as rock stars! This was interresting, but thankfully I had did my homework and was able to show the negative side of being a star. I told them about the drugs, and the influence of the occult, the disease's and other things. This was an AWESOME opportunity to show the life of Christ and what he wants for us. I told them that many of the rules that are put in place by Jehova are not for Him, but for us!! To save us from the pain!! There eyes were glued and I had 18, 12 and 13 year old students not saying a word!! God is so good. There are many more things to add, but that is not what I wanted to write about tonight. I wanted to say thank you to Jesus for providing us that opportunity to be here doing this work. The other day I got a message from a girl that is becoming more of apart of our family everyday. We just love her so much and are so excited to see how God is moving in the hearts of the people here. I received permission from her to post this so you all can see how people are crying out for God. This is not the first time that we have heard something like this, this is just the first time that I have received permission to share it with the world, and all of you. (I deleted anything that might give away who she is, for her privacy.) Here is what it said,

Hey!!! How are you guys doing?? I have been very blessed through “*******************” Mexico City I learned a lot! And I think it’s time to start putting in practice what I know…. God spoke about making Jesus famous!!! To ask Jesus in our daily prayers to use our lives to make Him famous, whatever way He wants, but we need to be utile for His renown!! You know what??? Recently I have been feeling a huge worrying about my country!!! Because of *************, I am getting really involved with México, I’ve got to read the newspaper, go deep in some crimes, investigate murderers, etc!! It’s being very difficult knowing all stuff, sadly, real. There’s a big need to change and to fight for Mexico!!! You guys have been a great model for me… watching that you have done lots more things for a Country that’s not even yours … you have left your family!! Well we all know how difficult this has been for you… then why I’m I just standing and watching and clapping you??? I should feel ashamed! I call myself a Mexican!! Ok I’m so proud… and then??? What’s next?? This can’t continue the ways it goes…. I’ve got to change first if I want people to change.. I believe there is still hope for Mexico!!! Something new is growing in my heart!! I want to go share the gospel to jails! I know sounds crazy but I also know Jesus is the only solution. It’s not increase punishments, it’s not put criminals into death,. Jesus is the only way to stop such evilness!! I don’t know what but I need to do something!! Jesus is coming soon and there’s no time to waste…. Let’s make Jesus famous!!! Now, I want you guys to continue helping me, I need discipleship, I would like that u share your knowledge with me!! For I know being willing is important but not enough. I need to be prepared! It’s sounds difficult ha?! But I know God will make his part… mean while here I am to do mine!!! Thanks for reading… Love you!!!

This is why our family is here. The other day I was walking around the house complaining about something and then I realised the blessing that God has given us. I was brought to tears this weekend when we were with some friends and I realized again the life that God is blessing us with. We are able to take that blessing and like the Bible says, it is a cup overflowing. We cannot help but share the love of Jesus with those around us. It is truly like a fire that once it is lit, anything that comes in contact with it will also burn. Sure I am human and make stupid human mistakes, but God is SOOOOOOOO much bigger than that!! If he can use a donkey, he can use little old me. The other day I was working on a project and I started laughing because I was just like a little school girl who is going out with a boy. I realised that I had spent the last couple hours not saying a word to anyone, but just letting my mind wander into the presence of Jesus and allowing His love to wrap around me. While I was working on that project, I was just trying to imagine what it will be like when we stand before Him. When we are able, when ever we want, to worship Him live and in person. What He must look like, and what kind of person He is, what kind of love he must have for us, and what His plans for our life are. He has planted this love in my heart is at the core of who I am. Even though the love is in my head, it is not centered there, and while the love is in my heart, that is not the core of it either. This love is something that is in center of who I am, set deep inside, and unable to be removed by anything. It is so powerful that is changes the physical person on the outside. He has sparked this love, and as the Bible calls it, it is the "love of the bridegroom". The wedding feast is not far off, and we that are alive in Christ will be caught up in the air to meet Him. I don't know if this generation will see the end or not. One thing is for sure, one day our world (personally)will come to an end, and then it will be our turn to stand before Him and present ourselves to the Father. I look forward to the day when I can present my body as the living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him, trying my best to live in peace with all man. Thank you Jesus for this life, and this wonderful opportunity to serve you. The people of Mexico are also catching this vision and the more that we share your message, the more that it effecting those around us. We have found out that this is the hour for Christians to stop taking the back seat. The other day one of my friends said it best, he said, "I am beginning to think that, instead of taking the hits of satan, we start hitting him, and if there was ever a time to take up our cross to follow Jesus...... this is the time." This is the time, and this is the truth.

I have to quite now, because I could go on for hours. Thank you all for your love and support, and don't forget to keep your eyes on the King. Ross
