Todo en Matachi es muy grande!

The phrase of the week was "Todo en Matachi es muy grande!"  Everything in Matachi is very big!!  In reality, nothing is... it's a tiny town of 3,000 with one paved road and 45 minutes from the nearest decent sized town.  It started as a joke but ended up challenging us to view the world with God's eyes.  Matachi is a small, nothing town but, Lord willing, great things will come from this town.  The week has really been wonderful and I'm blessed to have been here.  I look forward to returning to teach in the future.

Luciano, a student from Argentina.  As I had hoped, we befriended a rancher and rode his horse this afternoon.

Susie, a family friend and my translator, Luciano, and I after eating sweet and sour chicken.  Susie and I cooked the food that night and used skewers for chopsticks.  A great evening.


Teaching the Arabic script to the students.  I taught about 18 hours in four days; class topics ranged from communicating gospel truths through stories, the Arabic alphabet, and discipleship issues.

Thanks for your prayers and support!
