Doing ALL in the name of Jesus...

Always giving a witness of the Life within you.

While in Santiago, we were walking back to the hotel when we passed a lady carrying wood into her house.  She looked at us, smiled and jokingly said, "Ayúdame (help me)!"   [Wood is such an important daily need here as much of the cooking is still done on a wood fire, especially these wonderful tortillas.]  Well, David and Ron looked at each other and said, "she asked us for help, we can do it."  Margie and I loaded their arms and they carried wood...and carried wood...and carried wood until it was all inside.  The ladies (mom, grandmother, and daughter) were surprised that "the gringos" would stop and help them.  We shared with them that Jesus loved them and desired a relationship with each of them.  We prayed with them and then returned on our way back to the hotel.

Just down the street, we passed another load of wood, probably three times the size of this wood pile, and we didn't stop to help them.  This time, there were four young men well able to carry it all inside.  Plus they didn't say. "Ayúdame."
