Amazing

I was able to spend some time with Peter today.  He is amazing.  He is not forming words but is communicating ideas.  He calls out to people, he interacts with nearly everyone, and wants to be involved.  Today he went to vacation Bible school and when he became excited he hopped out of his chair and walked around without any help or prompting.  Tonight he stood up and went down the hallway looking for his mom and when he did not find her he came back out to the kitchen.

 

The man in the picture hunts wild boar.  He brought this one and butchered it in John and Carla’s backyard.  The lady beside him is Ruth, the wife of the former Filipino pastor.  This evening she bought us a full meal of pulled pork and cabbage, flan, and banana lumpia.  Last year she never came out to meet us but this year she stops us to visit, she brings food, and offers help.  God is opening the hearts of the two churches meeting in the Wahiawa Church of the Nazarene building to come together as children of His.

Painting the exterior of the church was the second project on our to do list.  The church front and west end are almost complete.  All the exterior columns are a brown/gold and the walls are yellow.  The floor in the church’s lanai is a dark gold.  Several people in the neighborhood mentioned how pretty it looks.  During our evening meal a stranger stopped, rolled down his car window, and called to tell us on the lanai how nice the church looked.  God is working the hearts of the watchers.

The lady that is extremely ill with cancer prayed with John’s help to accept Christ this morning.  She is not expected to make it through the night.  Her family needs your prayers.

Psalm 145:18  The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
