A few thoughts from Lago Agrio convention (Nov. 19-20, 2022)

  • God is calling us into depth.
  • Be true today.
  • The hardness of my own heart can influence the heart of my brother.
  • We will never lack for adverse winds and storms in life, but focused on Jesus, we can go forward.
  • We won't get very far until we take responsibility for our own life.
  • Our hope is in repentance.  For those who repent, there is a Redeemer.

A few thoughts from El Cristal convention (Nov. 11-13, 2022)

  • When my tongue gets out of control, I need to examine my relationship with God.
  • God has given me something through the gospel, and He wants me to do something with it.
  • We accept that life isn't getting any easier, but don't let that keep you from giving time to the most important things.
  • There is no detail of our lives that escapes God's notice.
  • God hasn't called us because of what we are, but because of what He is.
  • In every experience, God has something special to teach us.
  • God wants to bring us all, whether up or down, to the level of reality.
  • In every temptation, God gives us a way of escape.  We decide whether or not to accept that way of escape.
  • Don't be frightened to get conviction.
  • When we are seeking the good of our soul, we will always have an enemy.

We were DELIGHTED to have Cassandra (left) and Lena (right) with us for Las Mercedes and El Cristal conventions.  Not only did we enjoy their WONDERFUL company, but they were also a TREMENDOUS help!  Come back anytime, Ladies.

We've got a hungry Pirate on our hands.

 Now we're back at El Cristal, waiting for another convention to begin.
