Luis (one of our deacons) and I walked up to a home in Rio Hondo (Deep River) and we were greeted by a Miguel, who was working in his garden with a machete.
Miguel invited us to his carport, called a Marquesina here, and got comfortable in his hammock, contentedly swinging back and forth as we shared the Gospel.
The lady of the house came out later and started the second hammock going.
She said, "I didn't eat breakfast yet, but when I heard you were out here sharing the Bible, I decided to skip it. I can eat anytime. Besides, it doesn't hurt to fast a bit to hear the Bible."
She made us some nice Puerto Rican coffee and gave us granola bars for a snack as we left.
We prayed with them and were extended a welcome to visit again.
Please pray with us that we may see them make an important decision.
We were given the gift of hospitality. What a joy to be well received and find such open hearted people.
But it is even a greater joy to share a message that has the power to change lives and bring hope, comfort, and salvation to the people whom we have come to love.
