Getting back to the Basics.
The fact that I haven’t posted in a while??? Well many factors, time, direction and probably most of all confidence. I read all my favorites and realize I just don’t have the ability to write the way they do. I know once I get past that I will write more frequently and share more about what God is doing in our life.
I guess I need to change the name of this blog due to that we have completed our first year at our place of appointment. It has flown by. Touched by many ups and downs. Meeting many different people, tasting many different foods, experiencing different cultures. God has many reasons why he has put us here, one that I can see, is that we are here to see the lostness not only of Treinta y Tres but of the world. For me to reexamine my direction in my life personally and the direction I take my family. Each day I realize how precious my family is to me and how I haven’t taken them seriously enough. I’m thankful that God has looked after them a lot better than I have. His promises are so evident each day. Thank you Jesus for you Mercy and Love.
These past 3 or 4 weeks we were able to go home to visit. (First time in about two years.) What a blessing it was to be able to visit family and friends. To hug my mama, ride bikes with my brother and to find counsel with my pastor. And one of the tuff things was to see my Dad. It was a shock to see him eat away to nothing. If you didn’t know he is fighting cancer. Fighting is probably not a good word more like battling, to all the cancer soldiers; I deeply love you for your attitude to fight this disease. We returned to the field not knowing what God will allow to happen. My dad’s hope is to be able to lay brick again, my hope is the same but more than that I’m thankful I find comfort knowing that God is in control. A saying from a friend that has so rung true in these past days. A song that speaks to me as well, “His Eye is On the Sparrow”. And many parts of God’s Word I find comfort.
Happy is the worshipper of the Lord, who is walking in his ways.
2 You will have the fruit of the work of your hands: happy will you be, and all will be well for you.
3 Your wife will be like a fertile vine in the inmost parts of your house: your children will be like olive plants round your table.
4 See! this is the blessing of the worshipper of the Lord.
5 May the Lord send you blessing out of Zion: may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 May you see your children's children. Peace be on Israel.
Psalms 128:1-6 (BBE)
This is just one picture of many that I want to share. This my best friend doing what she does best. I love you babe!

Our First Volunteer Group!!!!
Wow!!!
What a great time we had with the Carlton Rivers group from Georgia. They arrived on Saturday at noon. We got a bite to eat then off to "33". They rested Saturday then they ministered to the Sunday school classes at our church. That evening they handled the worship service with one their team members singing and leading in the Spanish music. Monday we Prayer Walked all day. They were bushed and reading for some rest. Tuesday we got an early start. We headed to where they minister last year and they reacquainted themselves with the group. That evening we were invited to a public salon (public gathering place). To share with the children of the barrio. We puppets, and gave bags of goodies and tracks. That night we showed a movie. We didn't see any decisions but it was a good time making contacts and building relationships. We headed back that night which was about an hour drive. Wednesday morning we got up and headed to the capitol city of Montevideo. They took a 3 hour city tour. Ate supper and off to bed for a good night sleep before the long travel day on Thursday back to the States.
They were a fantastic first group. The minister and loved on the people. It was a blessing to all.
If all the Churches would get actively involved like this one. Wow what a difference we could make in the Kingdom.

Does it Matter?
Does it matter...?
I wonder does it matter what we do if God already knows what is going to happen. We evangelize but God knows who is going to follow. According to several of my friends. And the discussions we have at the end of discussing how we are going to plan an event. I hear these words "well what ever we do it doesn't matter because God is in control". I agree God is in control but does it matter/ I'm not sure who comes by my blog but if you have some thoughts please I would love to hear them.

One of those biggest fears.
| I guess one of the biggest fears that you face, or I face anyway, as a missionary is that time when your parent or parents will pass on. No one has passed in my family but a scare has happened. My dad is in ICU with blood clots in his lungs. Everything is stable and I’m praising God. But back to the topic... I can still look back at the days I didn't have that hope in the Lord. When I didn't think about what will happen after death. Or what will happen to my loved ones after this time on earth. Will I see them in eternity? Man, how do people without that Hope live with those thoughts? I am so thankful for the Hope I have and the peace I have in the Lord. I read something today from A.W. Tozer that said.” God cannot use a man until he has hurt him deeply.” I don’t have the whole context to what he was writing. So I wonder is that a general statement or was he referring to something specific? When my brother told me of the news of my dad, a world of questions went through my head. Did I witness to him enough, hard enough, or direct enough. Are the ones that believe my dad is saved, from knowing him in his younger years, are they right? Just one of the fears we face on the field. I’m thankful for our Lord… 27 May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear. John 14:27 (BBE) |

Some thoughts or Questions.
Why is it that most missionaries go home during the first year on the field?
Why do so many suffer during their first year on the field?
Why do kids not want to go to Sunday School at their church?
Why do the missionaries find it hard to accept the way the church is worshiping?
Are there answers or are these things that we have to accept?
I read Step’s blog on https://www.blogger.com/atom/19596668 “Some of us shouldn’t be here”. And I have posed that question to myself. Should I be here?
Looking at the first question….I think I will be very open here and share what I’ve been going through as of late. At the moment my wife and I are as far apart emotionally as we have ever been. When back in the states when would get to this point we always blamed it on the fact we didn’t spend enough time together. We would spend time together, work on our relationship and things would flourish once more. Now on the field we spend more than enough time together. Where is the break down? I think we have started rebuilding but we both don’t seem to be eager about doing it. I think she is dealing with some emotional stuff and I know I am. Now before everyone gets worked up and says “oh, just give it over to God” or “You are not where you need to be with God” or any other spiritual answer, I have been and will continue to pray and study with God on what I should do next. When at home I would always talk with my close friend/pastor and my wife would do the same. We would talk together about issues that we dealing with about each other and work them out. We have done that as well, most of the issues dealt with me and I agreed that I needed to change some things. Marriages go through the ups and downs. I know this. Maybe I’m over reacting. Maybe I’m using this form of communication to vent. Or Maybe God is going to teach me not to be so transparent to the world. This is probably God’s intent. I’m sure I will find out within a few days. But this is real stuff. Living on the field is not a bed of Roses. My pastor always said that Ministry was all about Pain and Sacrifice. I only thought ministry was tough in the States.
Now the next question….Why do so many suffer during the first year on the field?
Well let’s eliminate the first year if you went to language school. For us that wasn’t much of a transition. It was like living in a big city in the states and you were confined to “little Latin America”. The next year that you are actually at your place of service that is the first year. I only say this for clarification. Now let’s eliminate the culture. I know this adds to the mix but I don’t want to talk about that in this post. Let look at the church aspect of it. First we have been advised not to get involved with any leadership positions. We have been advised to only participate on the level of helping with small projects but not to teach, lead or have any direct impact. (Financially speaking). So at the moment our Baptist church is about as dead as you get. I don’t see any spiritual growth. I don’t see them worshipping God in such a way I think is pleasing to Him. And if I was a visitor seeking God, I wouldn’t see him there. Now my next statement might alarm some but by no means does it state my doctrinal view. But if I (visitor) was searching and come across a congregation that was enjoying God’s love and expressing it in such a way that I thought it was pleasing to God I believe I would have to go there. Now that those churches do not stand doctrinally where I stand so as a mature believer I choose not to worship there even though it is tempting.
Now with our kids they don’t want to go to the Sunday School. Our girl doesn’t like to go because the other kids are so disorderly and boys hit girls and it is permitted. So we struggle with making her go. Our son doesn’t like to go youth functions because basically it is not any better than the Sunday services. Dead as a door nail. Now I was taught if you not going to help be a solution to the problem. Do not complain. Well I’m not complaining just stating the facts. I would love to be a solution to the problem but I’m not allowed and I’m not the pastor. (I wasn’t a pastor in the states either so I doubt I could help in that area any way).
Well this has been long enough. I apologize if this has been like rambling. I didn’t answer all the questions. But have touched some. Maybe I post another later.
I know God wants to teach me something. Maybe he is showing me that I’m one of those that don’t need to be on the Mission Field.

A Busy Time!!!
| It has been a while I know. We spent the last few days of May getting ready to leave for Argentina. Our Church came down to Argentina to work with the Word of Life bunch. We made plans to go and meet and minister with them there. It was a great time. We were there for about 8 days. We were able to see our pastor and his wife. Reinstablish some friendships and make new ones. The Church brought down a great team this year. I was impressed with all of them. But one of the guys really sticks out. His name was Adam. He has M.S. He could use every excuse not to come. Yet he came with enthusiasm, love and a willingness to be used. He has a heart of gold and I pray that he will reach many people for Christ. In working with this WoL group in Argentina, they are trying to teach the churches to evangelize by going door to door. It is a new concept but they seemed to really enjoy talking with the people. They had several of the young leaders interested in sharing their faith door to door. I was encouraged as we were sharing at the homes they (young leaders) were taking notes. I really think they have got a lock on what direction they want to go. In this door to door campain, we shared the Gospel with over 600 people and over 200 of those excepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. I have no doubts they will do a great job in following up with all the decisions. They have a missionary there from the WoL , named Will Herndan (Hope I spelled it right). He really has a passion to see all of Cordaba touched with the Gospel. |

Bike Team Rocha! con Treinta y Tres.
The is one of the bike/evangelical impacts we did with the Missionaries from Rocha.
Each year they take there youth on a bike ride and do evangelical impacts in town across the eastern side of Uruguay. I think the Rocha team did over 500 kilometers of riding. They are a great bunch of kids. The Missionaries Cliff and Cinthy Chase are good people. They will be going home on stateside assignment for about a year. Enjoy the video!!

What am I doing?
I know that God has brought me here. I know that without a doubt. I have had the opportunity to make friends with several non believers here. I will continue to do this. Are they open to hearing the idea of starting a bible study in their home? Who knows. I want to build these relationships up and not push them away. I have asked myself, "where you going to push them too, Hell #2. They have said they are more interested in who I am on the inside and not what I say I am. I'm not really sure how to interpret this but it is a start. I have asked myself now, "How am I going to touch every person here in this Department of 49000 with the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Is it possible to know that every person has heard it. What means are available with limited resources? What obstacle do I face? (The main one being the language.) Who will be on my team? (God will have to give me one) Some have said that I have to work with local Pastor to accomplish the goals here. I'm not sure how to take that one as well. The Pastor thinks he has done all that can be done. But we know that there is a lot more work to be done. I want so bad to start doing something but not sure where to start. I'm thinking of starting some ESL classes for the poor. I have also had the opportunity to ask several students learning English if they would like to come meet the next volunteer team coming in. They had to agree to come church, because that is where the group will be. Also I have asked them to accompany us on our Prayer walking. I'm sure how that will turn out but my goal is for these students to here the Gospel. In regards to these students I was able to talk with for about an hour. I asked several questions but I responded to several questions they asked as well. I was curios on how they view living here. They all said they were bored. That there was nothing here for them to do. I asked "if they could change something about here what would it be?"again I'm looking at ways to reach the youth. The all responded that they wanted a place where they could sit, talk, eat a little something and listen to music. At the moment they sit at the main drag, watching the traffic go by. I have a lot of quick answers but it has to go much deeper that. What to offer them that doesn't require a ton of money. I'm wanting a drawing card. Unfortunately the church can't offer anything that would interest them. The music is dull, and they don't have the resources to offer anything. What to do? |

Done this already.
I wrote a pretty lengthy post and lost it all. Don't really have the heart to do it again. But here it goes in a short version.
April was pretty busy with bike rides. Some friends from Rocha came over by bikes. We wanted to show a evangelistic movie but rain dampened it a little. We woke the next morning and left on a 100 kilometer ride to Santa Clara. We stopped there ate, camped and showed a movie. There a few contacts made but no decisions. We came back the next morning by way of a shorter route. Arrived here in Treinta y Tres showed a movie in the plaza and made some more contacts. All in all it was a good time for the kids to share with the kids from Rocha.
Teresa and I have started our language learning again here in Treinta y Tres. Our tutor is very professional and teaches English. Teresa loves the class room stuff. You know me, class room is not my cup of tea. All in all it is going well. Through it all, God has opened up a tremendous door.
Today Gemer (tutor) asked me to come back tonight and talk with one of his advance classes. The reason was to discuss about how his classes could interact with our volunteer groups we have coming from the states. Gemer has said that he is a believer. And I will dive deeper into that later. I talked with the students and they were very open to the opportunity to be able to interact with the groups. At the moment I have 8 youth (17 -18 ) interested. Tomorrow I will talk with two other classes about the same thing. God is really open the door to touch several youth. We have also asked them if they were interested they could come over eat and practice their English. After talking with that group tonight, I got some good insight on what to be praying about. The kids asked me, did I like living here? Well of course I said yes and that is the truth. It is a nice to place to live. They thought I was crazy. They said it was boring with nothing to do but Saturday nights sit on the main drag and watch cars go by.

La Charqueada bound!!
Forgive me for not posting in while. I have been hesitant here lately on several things. I've really been trying to seek what God will have us do here in Treinta y Tres. Long term. I've pretty much decided to start some ESL classes in the poorer barrios. We'll see how that turns out.
Off we go today. Really it is not that far from our home here in Treinta y Tres. We going with the pastor today to a worship service every other Saturday. This has developed from the pastor here. It will be interesting to see how this works. In the past missionaries have tried to start works there but have dwindle down after they left. So this will be interesting to see how a national handles everything. I'm observing very closely how things develop. There are a lot of cultural things that I see happening and I wondering how we can fit into this picture. I'll keep you posted.

Mama is Gone :o(
We made it through our first day without mama. Teresa went with some other friends on a 4 day break. The kids and I are trying to carry on but the how quickly you learn where the glue comes from. Monday went well though. The kids pitch in and did their part. Feeding was a little difficult. I'm not a cook so ham sandwiches were the choice for lunch and chavitos and melanesas for supper.
This morning was oatmeal from our states stash of cinnamon role flavor oatmeal. CoraBeth is flying through her school work but is complaining a little bit with her throat. We'll see how that comes out. Garrett has been emailing with one of his school mates over the issue of suicide and what the Bible says about it. It has been a good challenge for Garrett. If your are thinking "red flag issue" with this kid. I have read the emails and they are only debating a little. I don't think there are any issues that need to be dealt with but I will monitor it just the same.
CoraBeth is a having a little trouble with some word problems and they look like I will have problem with them as well. So I better go. Thanks for all your prayers.

What a Week!!!
Has been a busy week, It seems as though just living takes up all our time. Getting up, getting the kids started on school. Eating lunch, and then getting the youngest ready for her afternoon school.
Teresa does such a wonderful job on taking care of us I can't say enough how much I love her.
Well the week didn't start off to good. We have decided the physical therapist and I that I have a bulging or herniated disc. I have been exercising more and started on the rehabilitation process. I think in time and good exercising I will recover. Just learning to cope with the pain and learn how not to be a pain to deal with, things will be fine.
How easy it is to forget the simple things back home. My family had sent us some Martha White blueberry muffins. Teresa fixed them one morning this past week. As I watch my nine year old cherish every bite. I couldn't but help but think how we should cherish every bite of the Word of God the way I watched my youngest taste every bite of those blueberry muffins.
I have read and continually go back to a book that a fellow missionary let me borrow called the "The Strategy of Satan" by Warren Wiersbe. It has been good for to learn how the devil wants to sift me and deceive me. It has been even better how God has given me the tools and armor to defend against his attacks. I would not be true to myself or God if I told you everything was going just perfect here. I sometimes think I'm not qualified to do what our mission board wants. Or that I'm not as spiritual as I should be. I have answered the call on my life and I want to so bad to please our Lord and Savior. Some days I wonder what am I doing here. I can't share my heart with people here like I could at home. The language is not coming as fast as I would hope it would come. I know our only purpose is to please our Father but you can't help to think that you don't want to let down the folks back home that have given for us (my family) to be here. You don't want to let down your fellow colleges as well. When you know that some believe that I should have more theological training than I have. I have received so much encouragement from fellow M's. And though I might not acknowledge it well, I do appreciate all of the Godly advice.
Enough of that, yesterday I received with Uruguayan honor, my first portable “parrilla”. Grilling out as we call it is something that the Uruguayans pride themselves on. The Pastor of the church here makes them and many other type of metal objects. He is good at making these and other type items. He is a modern Paul; he just makes “parrillas” en lugar de tents. Most of the gente here in the campo do not use “carbon” but burn wood down and cook over coals. It sounds easy but there is a little bit you have to learn about what wood is best, how long will it take and how hot to get the fire. I think I will catch on quick, because as I was growing up I remember many times as my dad and his friends would cook on the 4th of July. They would use hickory wood and spend just about the whole night cooking pork and chickens for the next day of feasting. Just thinking about those days makes my mouth water.
So much I would like to say but sitting here in front of the computer is not good for my back. Teresa and I are off to get our bed that we have had made. I’m excited about not having to sleep on the floor. The simple things we take for granted. I hope all this rambling made some sense. Until next time may God bless your steps.
Quote of the Day…I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I've met.
