In the mission work it is necessary to do more than preach the gospel, as very few people would be willing to listen to us if we did not take the time to show them that we really care about them. I have met people who just wanted to be heard, people in trouble, people who want to share their suffering with someone, and no one is willing to listen to them. Each person has their own problems, they don't want to deal with others. We thank God for teaching us to be like Him, for teaching us to be guided by the Holy Spirit, and for being attentive to our fellow men.

We thank God for the brothers and sisters who help us socially, so when we go to visit people we can give them something. We have noticed that when we show people that we care about them, they are willing to make time for us. May God be praised for putting us in touch with people open to mission work, simple people but with loving hearts. A hand extended to a man, a child, a widow, an old man, attracts the attention not only of the person in question but also of those around him. People listen to and observe us, and with the help of the Lord we become more and more loved, more trustworthy, a LIGHT that expands and fulfills its purpose. GLORY TO THE LORD!

Thank you for the prayers and more. Please keep praying for us!
Be blessed!
