tomorrow
One thing I have been thinking a lot about is how uncertain tomorrow is, or any coming day. We just don´t know what tomorrow brings. We hope it is good, but often it is not. Many things come unexpectedly. Could be something that effects the entire world, or our country, or our family. Many people (Christians included) have lived, and experienced things that we do not want to experience. To see a spouse or child suffer from a disease, and sometimes then die. That is one of my greatest fears is that something would happen to Eliana. I would much rather suffer myself, than to see her suffer. But we just don´t know what will happen in the future. We don´t know when our own lives will end. One thing I have been wondering about is what kind of persecution me and my family will face. Eliana and I are Christians. Our Savior, Lord Christ, was persecuted. He said the same would happen to those that follow Him.
What kind of natural disasters are ahead of us. Or wars, or depressions where there is not much food? My purpose in writing this is not to make anybody depressed.
But here is my questions: Are we ready? Are we ready for tomorrow, and for whatever comes our way? God does not want his people to be afraid. He wants us to know that He is in control. Yes, many things happen that God hates, but this is a world that has fallen because of sin. This is not the world that God originally made. Its a world turned against God. Our hearts have gone bad. But God has not left this world. He is still seeking people. He continues to bring people to Him that He has chosen to be saved. And we are saved by believing in Jesus Christ. The only reason that a person can be saved is because Jesus Christ died for their sins. A person can do no work, and do no good deed that will get them into Heaven. Salvation is Gods business, not ours. Our salvation was paid for with the blood of Jesus Christ. That may sound weird, but its true.
I want to get back to the original question. Are we ready? Not physically ready, like having money saved up, or something. But are we ready spiritually. Are we trusting God? Whatever difficulties we will face, God will be there. God knows our thoughts and everything we do. He sees each step we take, and knows the number of hairs on our head. He cares about us.
I think if we can walk through our trials and sufferings with faith, that would make all the difference. To know that God is in control. The apostle Paul said that he learned how to be content in any situation. I think he learned how to have joy even in the worst of sufferings, and Paul certainly knew about suffering. But Paul also had a deep peace and joy from knowing that his soul was safe. I think that is what we all need. A saved soul, which produces a thankful heart. I hope we all have hearts that are filled with peace, and joy, and love. And that we are not afraid of anything that can happen in the future.

Pro Choice
The U.S. Presidential elections are coming up. You might hear the phrase ¨pro-choice¨ when a presidential candidate is speaking about their stand on abortion. Basicly it means this: They don´t necessarily agree with abortion, but they trust mothers and families to make the right decisions. They don´t think it is necessary for the government to get involved. They think that the ¨liberty¨ to have an abortion needs to be protected.
Pro-choice does have a nice ring to it, but I have some statistics to show you.
Statistics just for the United States:
Why women have abortions: 1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
Likelihood of abortion:An estimated 43% of all women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old. 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one previous abortion.
One baby is aborted every 26 seconds
137 babies are aborted every hour
3,304 babies are aborted every day
23,196 babies are aborted every week
100,516 babies are aborted every month
Almost 50,000,000 babies have been aborted between 1973 and 2007.
64% of women who experienced one or more abortions “felt pressured by others” to have the abortion.
Statistics from http://www.mccl.org/abortion_statistics.htm and http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html
So a presidential candidate that has a ¨pro-choice¨ stand on abortion thinks the mothers will do the right thing, and the government does not need to get involved. Babies are not being aborted because the mothers life is in serious danger, or also because of rape/incest. The vast majority of babies are being aborted for the simple fact that they are not wanted. The mother, parents, or family do not want their lives to significally change because of a baby. They are selfish. If someone is not able to take care of a baby, then why can´t they put the baby up for adoption?
My wife is pregnant, and I will soon be a father. I have felt the fears that most people feel. When the baby comes, Elianas and my life will significantly change. But never would we have someone kill our baby so that our ¨plans¨ are not interrupted.
Really it is not my opinion that is important, but it is Gods opinion. What does God think when a baby is killed? Does He only care about the babies that have been born, and not about those that haven´t been born yet? I will tell you that God does care. God cares about the babies that are in a mothers womb. The approximately 50,000,000 babies that have been aborted in the United States between 1973 - 2007; God cares about them. The parents may not have cared about the baby, but I know that baby is loved by God. And because God cares, will He not deliver justice for the murder of those babies?
God does not just judge people individually, but He will punish an entire nation. How many times did Israel turn away from God, and God punished that nation? God would allow other nations to invade Israel. Terrible things would happen because Israel decided to turn against God, and do all these evil things. And do we think that God will not do the same to the United States? Has God forgotten about these babies? Of course not! I believe that Gods judgement to our country is just around the corner. I don´t know how He plans to do it, but I know that God will not forever allow the United States to do the things that they are doing without being severely punished. Can Gods judgement be avoided? I know that in the Bible a nation would find out about Gods coming judgement, and they would stop the evil they were doing, and so God would not judge the nation at that time. But when the nation again turned to its evil ways, Gods judgement came. I think that only if our nation turns from its sin, will that deter God from punishing our nation.
Many people think that nothing can bring the United States down. People think ¨we are the strongest country in the world, who can hurt us?¨ But God is who first blessed this nation, and He has the power to take away everything from us. Why has there never been an enemy nation invade the United States? Because God has not allowed it. But if God allows a nation (or group) to cause damage to the United States, it will happen. And the United States will not be able to stop them, because God is using that nation (or group) to punish our nation.
But God does not forget about the people that have turned away from sin, unlike the others in the country. So those people should not be afraid.
It is so important to have a good leader in our country. A president that wishes to please God, and make the right decisions. The United States has certainly been a country that has stood for many good things. When Hitler and the Natzi´s were trying to exterminate all the Jews, millions of young American men were headed overseas to fight, and they did fight, many losing their own lives. But God was with them, and they won the war. God hated what the Natzi´s were doing, and God punished them because of the bad things they were doing. One of the nations that God used was the United States. But now we must turn from our sin, or our nation will also be judged.

Ethiopia: Attack on Church Leaves 4 Dead, 70 Injured
By Michael IrelandChief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service ETHIOPIA (ANS)
-- Last week, Christians gathering at local churches in a southern region in Ethiopia were enjoying singing and worship when, without warning, hundreds of men armed with machetes and clubs leapt through the open windows and indiscriminately began attacking everyone present. The attackers barricaded the doors to try to prevent people from escaping.
Envoy Ministries (www.envoyministries.org ) says that when the carnage was complete, there were three Ethiopian church planters (missionaries) dead, one more person died March 9, and more than 70 were injured, with 40 people sustaining serious injuries. The death toll is expected to rise. Hundreds fled the area and are being cared for by Christians in other towns.
David Hunt, President of Envoy Ministries, says the attack occurred on March 3, when initially three people were killed. One person later died of wounds sustained in the attack, and seven people remain in hospital.
Hunt told ASSIST News: "Three days ago evangelists began flowing into a nearby town and in one day more than 30 evangelists begged to be sent back into exact area. Yesterday we committed to support the first ten with $60 monthly -- today the 10 headed back to the area saying 'We are ready to lay down our lives.'"
The Envoy Ministries website says that why such brutal attacks would take place is hard to understand, except that as the Gospel has flourished in Ethiopia and as people put their faith in Christ, others, violently opposed to the Gospel, do anything they can to stop the proclamation of the Gospel.
The site goes on to state: "However, Jesus said, 'I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.' Truly we are seeing that being borne out in the Church in Ethiopia and in the lives of our brave brothers and sisters in Christ."
Envoy Ministries says: "We have been in communication with the church there, nearly every day with news of the latest developments. As we learned of the devastation and impact on the Christians, we immediately sent $10,000 to help care for all affected. We have committed to cover the medical costs of those injured and to assist the 190 people who fled. Although this is not enough to cover all the costs, we believe we must do what we can and we invite the Christian public to join with us to care for them as long as they need help."
In speaking with the Ethiopian Christian leadership, Envoy Ministries says of the church planters that: "They consider that they have already died and have counted the cost to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. They said they are encouraged by the response to the Gospel in this region and for every one who died; there are 20 more ready to go in their place. They asked us to help provide for at least 50 church planters to return to preach the Gospel. They said, simply, 'We are inspired to go and work more.'"
The church leaders also asked if the ministry could help re-build the churches that were attacked.
Envoy Ministries says: "Our response was, 'You pray and we will share with our friends.' It now costs around $1,000 per church as they supply the land, the labor and the lumber. Our goal now has been elevated, as more churches have been destroyed and now we have 17 churches to rebuild."
The ministry asks believers in the United States "to first pray for the church in Ethiopia, for all those who are suffering and lost loved ones, and to join us in provision as we endeavor to care for all those affected. Thank you and God bless you."
Envoy Ministries says it is Christ’s messengers of hope to the lost and His emissaries of encouragement to the persecuted.
"We are called to serve in His name... and we are commanded to share His Gospel. "
¨Our ministry impacts lives, communities and nations through Bible distribution, church planting and providing practical helps to suffering and persecuted believers."
Envoy Ministries International is "called to be God’s trustworthy envoys of hope to those who are lost and hurting."

Elianas parents are away on another mission trip, and I will be taking care of the animals, which are in the backyard. That includes about 80 guinea pigs, 13 rabbits (includes 7 babies), and 3 chickens (including a rooster, which doesn´t just crow when the sun comes up). The food is alfalfa, a special pellet feed, and corn. The rabbit babies are just about a month old, and are already eating solid food. Elianas mother sells the guinea pigs, and I imagine will sell the rabbits. She enjoys having them, and does a good job taking care of them. That is all the news I have for now. Any news from the United States?
Lima
Here is a picture taken yesterday
from a house that overlooks some of Lima. A lot of people live on the mountains. Although there are roads that go up into the mountains, most people do not have cars. So there are lots of stairs, and so people climb those stairs everyday. For some people, they probably climb 150 stairs or more to get to their home. Our church is just a 6-7 minute walk from here.

Today
Today Eliana and I went and visited a family we know to see how they were doing. One of the daughters recently had surgery, and so she is recovering from it now. I am not sure what kind of surgery she had (my spanish is not that good, so I miss a lot of things), although we watched the video. The doctor used one of those video scope things, and so got to see the surgery from the inside, which actually was interesting. I think that takes a confident doctor to tape the surgery, and give it to the patient, because then they could see any mistakes that were made. We don´t really know all that family, just the mother and one of the daughters. They really are very nice people.
Other than that, we spent a little time in the church. They had a supper in the church, and so we ate potatoes with a special cream, which is delicious. Eliana did a lot of things today, and so she is tired. So I am glad that she is going to rest this evening. Have a good night.
p.s., That family has 2 little dogs, and here is a photo of me with one of them.

Tonight
Tonight Eliana and I went to another church. The pastor is the father of one of Elianas friends. Actually it is the friend that made Elianas wedding dress. She does that for a living. Anyways, the pastor actually came and picked us up in his car, so we did not have to take a bus. So that was nice. Before we left, Eliana spoke to the youth. She passed out pieces of paper, and had them write questions on them that they would like answers to. And then the papers were collected, and Eliana went through them one by one, and answered all the questions. I thought that was a good idea. They had some good questions, and hopefully Elianas answers helped them out. Well it is almost midnight, so I am headed to bed. Good night.
Long time no see
Eliana and I are doing well. She is almost 2 months pregnant. This second month has been pretty hard for her, because of all the changes her body is going through. So hopefully at the 3 or 4 month mark, that will change, and she will feel a lot better. She was taking some prenatal vitamins, but a doctor said not to take those until the 3 month mark, but to only take Folic Acid for now. That is one thing that all doctors agree on: to take Folic Acid.
It has cooled off some here. The summers here get hot. But the homes here are made out of cement and brick, and that seems to keep things cooler inside. We recently were able to buy a new bed. The one we were sleeping on wasn´t very nice. But this one is a nice one, I think it is full size, and its comfortable. And it has a 10 year warranty, so thats good. Eliana is taking a nap in it as I am writing.
Eliana and I have been working to plastic wrap a lot of books that their company has. The books collect dust, and so they need to be wrapped in plastic wrap. And I think today there is 100 more books coming from Argentina. They like to order books from Argentina because most Peruvians think they are better quality books. By the way, the books they sell are legal books, and they sell them to lawyers, universities, etc. They would like to be able to get books from Spain, but for some reason it is hard to get books from there, possibly because they are more expensive.
Yesterday Eliana and I were at Ace Hardware (they have 7 stores in Lima). I bought some cucumber seeds, and so today I planted them in Elianas mothers garden. I remember the cucumbers in my parents garden, and they grew so fast, and covered a lot of ground. So I am hoping that these will do the same. There is not much greenery here, because we hardly have any rain, so even cucumber vine would be nice to look at.
The other day Eliana made a potato cream. She told me how she made it, but I forgot. Her family doesn´t really like it, but I thought it was really delicious. I think most Peruvians eat rice everyday, but I am not a big fan of white rice. But eating the rice with the potato cream was delicious. If you want to know how to make it, I´m sure she would tell you.
I hope everyone is doing well, although I know that many in my family are going through tough times. But just so you know, you´re not a lone. Many people you see with smiles on their faces are going through real difficult times, but they just don´t want others to know about it. But our God is good, and He cares about the details of our lives. You know I saw some photos of distant galaxies, and the diameter of those galaxies are 65,000 light years or more. Our God made all those! And not only that, He made us, and has not left us a lone. Although we may not see him, and sometimes we see no trace of Him... He is near. The video I posted on the last post, I really like the part when the guy portraying God is acting like he is pulling on a rope, and pulling the lost girl to Him. I think that is good, because it shows how God is involved in our lives, and how much He wants us to know Him, and to be with Him. The temptations and the evil things in the world were keeping the girl from coming to Him. Isn´t that how it is in all our lives? Money, sex, pride, unforgiveness, etc,; all these things fight against us. The girl was trying to get free from all those things, but wasn´t able. And that is when God jumped in, and took her place, and she was freed. That is what Jesus Christ did for us. He died for all of us, the sinners. He took our place, so that we could be free, and be forgiven, and able to be friends with God.

Drama Skit
I saw this skit posted on another persons website, and wanted to also put it on mine. It is a skit performed to the song ¨Everything¨ by Lighthouse. The man in the purple and white robe is portraying God. It is such a wonderful skit, and I hope that you like it too. Might not be suitable for children.
