One day, I can't even remember which, we were walking down the street looking for someone to talk to. We passed by this one house that had it's door open and just kept on walking. I don't know why we didn't stop to knock on the door but we just kept on walking...
About 10 seconds later something within me just screamed "Go talk to whoever is in that house!" Immediately, without thinking, I turned around and yelled out "Upe!" in front of the house (that's how they "knock doors" in Costa Rica). A nice older lady came out and greeted us, we presented ourselves and said that we had a short message about Jesus Christ we wanted to share with her, and she let us in. I don't know if she felt pity for us because it was raining or if she really wanted to hear our message but she let us in. We began talking and got to know her, her name is Gloria. Turns out, she just left her church, is looking for a new one, and has always wanted to enter our church every time she passes by but never received the invitation. We told her that the invitation is to ALL the world to come in and get to know our church and invited her to come the next Sunday. She asked us if a person needs to get baptized if the want to be part of the church, we told her that "It'd be a good idea" and she told us that she'd love to do it. And get this... SHE CAME TO CHURCH!!! Gloria will be getting baptized this next month.
We found so many other families that are just straight up prepared. God is working great things here in El Carmen. It was a great week not only because of the miracles but also because it was independence day here, 15 de septiembre. Lots of cool celebrations, great food and music. I love Costa Rica.
Hope y'all have a great week.
Keep On Keepin' On...
