SP - Palo Alto, CA

Six years of spanish pay off! LC, JK, and I met a pregnant woman from Mexico and her 8 year old son- her name is Yeni and her boy is Jenri. We also met a Brazilian woman named Isabel. Yeni's catholic while her husband Ramon wrestles to see God in a world full of suffering. Isabel lives in Koln, away fom the rest of her family. All of us had a heart-warming conversation, talking, among other things, about the difference between "religion" and knowing and loving God. Isabel's not a believer, so LC shared about how what Jesus did has changed his life. Really, though, it's not my six years of spanish. I've learned today (in conjunction with being able to speak comfort to a french-speaking egyptian yesterday) that GOD LOVES PEOPLE TOO MUCH TO LET LANGUAGE BARRIERS STAND IN THE WAY! HE HELPS. Praise God.
