Well, tomorrow's friday and things are great around here!

Two weeks ago we had a plumber out. He cut into our kitchen wall to remove a large piece of lumber that had gotten lodged in our pipes when the house was being built (???). Today two men, John & Carlos, came out to fix the gigantic hole in our kitchen wall.   We chatted for awhile. One was from Colombia and the other from Cancun, Mexico. Carlos saw our bible on the table and asked if I was a Christian (that's where the conversation began). I was so encouraged to hear about their faith in Jesus and their involvement in a local church, largely spanish speaking. They explained their effort (through their church community) to raise up disciples through their small groups, train them, and then send them out to start up their own small groups. It was so encouraging to hear how they make an effort to meet people in their neighborhoods, get to know them, love them, serve them, and get them plugged into these small groups they called "cell groups." John said, often times he doesn't even tell people he's a Christian, he just serves them the best way he knows how and prays for an opportunity to share Christ.  Isn't it awesome to know that God is raising up disciples from every nation, tribe and tongue to proclaim His name... the mighty family of God.

Well anyways, I hope you're encouraged. And here are a few recent photos of Azariah.
