Going to the Mountains

Sunday, July 2, several of us went up to a mountain community along the main road going to the other side of the Island. We have committed to encouraging a family there in their walk with the Lord. There were about eight of us from the small church that we attend. They go along for encouragement.

I was the speaker and so after a good time of singing I preached for about twenty-five minutes. It was just good to be with the family that we visited and the "team" from our church as well. I gave several rides home and as we went down the road they were discussing things that were happening at the church, like the mother that attended Sunday School with her child. The four or five young people who have been attending youth fellowships because of their involvement in the Sunday School.

Then they started telling jokes in about two languages (at a minimum) and they included me. Yes, I do feel at home here, even when the cultures are so different and half the time I do not know what is going on. Thanks for sharing this experience with me...
