Another visit to Pedro's mom

As I look back on these few days I can see how God is answering my prayer and giving me a heart to share with the people here. I was able to go visit Pedro’s mom again and I was able to have a conversation with her through Pedro translating into Makhuwa. I asked her if she had accepted Christ. She said she had. She doesn’t go to church anymore, she stopped going after her husband was kicked out for having more than one wife. It was such a good visit with her. I asked her several times about her accepting Christ because I wanted to make sure. Then it came to the point that I had to just trust her and what she was saying because God knows the condition of the heart.

She said that she was sad when she heard that I was leaving because she is always happy when I go to visit her.

On my way home from that trip I was reminded of how my connection when that area really started. I had gone to the area but then the day that I transported the dead body, the day that I didn’t want to do that, but it worked out so that I did. God used that day to help me build more relationships in that area of Murrupula.

During the trip on Wednesday I went with Pastor M to visit some of his family. As we were sitting there I saw a lady and my heart really broke for her. I prayed for her. I asked Pastor if she was a Christian and he said no. That gave me the opportunity to say next week can we come back and do evangelism training for the church here and then we can come back and visit her? So we set up a time to do the training and we’ll go back and visit her and talk with her.

I stopped again at Pedro’s mom house and invited her to go to the training. She agreed to go to the training. It will be a good time for her to hear the story of the Bible from beginning to end.

As I got back to Nampula that evening I went to a restaurant with some other people. If I would have let myself I could have cried for the people as I thought of the ones I had seen during the day.

The Pastor told me that he had had his time playing with his friends and now I could go play with my friends when it was my turn to go visit with Pedro’s mom. I thought that was cute.

We also dropped off the Pastor’s wife at her family’s house. The mom wasn’t there when we dropped off the wife. We went and did some other visits and then came back and the mom was there this time. She said I was at a neighbor’s house and I saw the car and I knew that was Carol’s truck. I thought that was neat that she recognized the truck and knew it was mine.
