Miracles do happen :)

I lived a miracle yesterday! After surviving the Bolivian bureaucracy of the phone and internet company... waiting two weeks after putting in our order because there was no phone line coming to our apartment, or there were no open slots for our internet... yesterday we had a phone line AND our internet installed and fully functioning by days end. I sat in our living room last night, on my own couch, checking my email (thanks to my wonderful husband who set up our wireless network) and marveled at how blessed I am. Granted we had to wait, and deal with some unruly employees in the process of "getting things done" but in the end, I live in a place that allows me to make phone calls whenever I need and check my email from the comfort of my own home. So yes... a miracle occurred in Cochabamba and I am living proof :)

On a more serious (and spiritual) note... over the past few months we've been able to watch three miracles occurring in the lives' of brothers and sisters here in Cochabamba. Miguel, Gabriela, and Sonia all put on Christ in baptism and we were there to see the miracle of rebirth that our Father gives in salvation! I continue to be amazed at how privileged we are to be here... to grow to know and love new brothers and sisters in Christ and watch them begin their walks of faith and become part of the body. Please pray for our new brother and sisters, that God will strengthen them and give them wisdom as they continue to grow in their faith. Please pray for us as their family here, that we will support them and encourage them in their new relationships with the Lord.
