1/2
Does sweeping your front porch
make number one on your priority list
everyday? How about sweeping the sec-
tion of street in front of your house?
Well, this is a matter of great impor-
tance in our new neighborhood. At
first, it just wasn't a priority for me as I
worked to get our house in order. But
the need for daily sweeping soon be-
came obvious.
First of all, we are so thankful to
have 2 fruit trees shading our front
patio, but they are constantly dropping
leaves and fruit (1 nispero tree and 1
mango tree). Second of all, after talkingwith a nice neighbor about the endless
sweeping, I got a clear answer.
She kindly explained to me the im-
portance of sweeping everyday and how
the neighbors were already talking about
the new, untidy neighbors. Well, that
part didnt really bother me, but the ex-
pectation to do it ASAP, every morning
got to me. I started thinking, Its my
house, if I want to I will or Sweep thestreet, please and For heavens sake,
its not like theres nothing else to do
first thing in the morning.
So began my week of conflict with
sweeping. I had quite a few conversa-
tions with the Lord about it. I struggled
to admit the root of my sweeping issues.
Why did I not want to do it everyday?

Sweeping away my prideSweeping away my prideSweeping away my pride ---by Laura Carterby Laura Carterby Laura Carter
Do I mind sweeping? No, I rather enjoy
it. Did my front patio need to be swept?
Yes, desperately! So what was the prob-
lem?
The problem was a selfish, prideful
heart that doesnt like to be told what to
do. This admission brought me into a
time of self-evaluation.
What else in my heart was being con-
trolled by selfishness and pride? What I
found wasnt pretty, but the Lord helped
me do some very necessary cleaning on
the inside.
Who would have thought that a little
sweeping would lead to a time of spiritual
housecleaning. What simple thing inyour life is pointing to something deeper
in your heart? Will you ignore it claiming
it is no big deal? Or will you respond to
the Holy Spirit and do your own self-
evaluation? As for me, I am going to just
keep on sweeping, inside and out!

Want a quick zipy way to
get around. Try a moto-taxi.
For just $0.50 you can jump
on the back of a motorcycle,
put on a well-used helmet
and hang on tight for wher-
ever you need to go. [email protected]@[email protected]
Jackson is enjoying his Tai-Kwon-Do classes and really doing well
at it. Let me tell you, you dont want to meet him in a dark alley.
Makayla has joined a competitive gymnastics team and is loving
it. She is making lots of friends and inviting everyone to the Im-
pact Groups. Avianna started school last week and is slowly adjusting. She is also
taking swim lessons and really enjoying her teacher.

Notice the small child
New pet (Lisa)
Three weeks ago we started our first Impact Group (Grupo de
Impacto). Impact Groups are small groups that meet in homes tofoster fellowship. Since we are just starting these groups, they
will very evangelistic as we are starting with non-believers. For
the first one, we had a meal and invited many people to attend to
kick off the groups. 22 adults (all non-believers) and 9 children
showed up for the first group in our home! What a joy to share the gospel to a group like that!
The following week only one lady showed up (it rained all day and no one goes out in the rain
here). Last Friday, 9 adults and 2 children attended. Please be praying for the following:
New groups starting soon in neighborhood of Jard n and the town of Taganga.
That it wont rain on the night of the groups!
Salvation of those attending.
Impact Group involved in an ice breaker.
