mexico day 3
well, praise God we had a good day off. Usually to get to Rosarito we have to go through Tijuana. Well, they built a new rode and we were able to avoid it all together which helps keep my blood pressure at a normal rate! I was able to do a little shopping, and despite earlier comments, I will not be coming home with a poncho and sombrero for Eliana and Erika! :) I got an email from Erika today and she said Eliana was doing well, that is a huge answer to prayer for me as I don't want Eliana to become a strain for her mommy. It was good to read and email from my honey! I miss her and look forward to coming home to see her (and yes I did pick up something for her! :))
While we were gone today I had someone hot mop the roof of the building we are working on. I wasn't comfortable with one of us doing it as it is extremely dangerous. Our hope for tommorow is that we could begin running the electric in the building and also put the doors in. I continue to be amazed at how much work we are getting done. Everyone has such a positive attitude and a willingness to serve. Which begs the question, why is it easier to serve someone you don't know, and may never see again then it is to serve someone you are in proximity to? Why can we be like Jesus to people we don't know, but those closest to us we struggle with that? My guess, that dreaded thing called pride. It has a way of rearing its ugly head and destroying opportunities for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the people He has placed in front of us. Well, more next time, but interract with me about the question I posed... why is it so easy to serve those we don't have relationship with then it is those closest to us?
See you later!
Peace,
Pastor Brian :)

It's probobly easier to serve someone you don't know, because you only get one chance to make a first impression. You already know that church members at home already love you, and you don't have to prove anything to them, they'll love you anyway, just like in your own family. People that you don't know may not know Christ , so you want to put your best foot forward to make sure they feel Christ's love for them ,through you.
