“Dear E. Lansing Family:

Thank you so much for remembering Valera’s birthday.  She got so many card and a few packages in the mail.  She says she wants to go back to Michigan because she misses everybody and the health food store.  Goran misses everybody and the ABC.  Thank God we are doing well.   We are doing a lot of missionary work, specially Goran is working hard in God’s work.  My job is interesting, it is actually the kind of job I dreamed of having.  The weather is the kind of weather I also prayed for and the Ocean is certainly what I always wanted, with warm water that you could swim in all day.  I can also garden all year round, and that is something that I also asked God for.  So I cannot complain, because God answered my prayer.  Goran feels hot most of the time and Valera really misses all the people at church and of course she misses the health food store.  There is a lot of work to do here.  Most people are very superstitious and held in bondage to the ’spirits of their ancestors’.    Thanks to God we are healthy and safe.  We are really missing Michigan camp meeting, the good potlucks at church, the brotherly love, good sermons and the loving fellowship in the E. Lansing SDA church.  God is really working through and in the E.Lansing church, we were nurtured and we feel that we have grown closer to God because of our experience there.  Please keep us in your prayers and keep this place in mind when looking for a place to be a missionary.  This place needs teachers, eye doctors, dentist, doctors…  It is very hard to get people here because it is so far away.  Specially, we would like to have consecrated school teachers as most students are not SDA and the student missionary teachers that come are often very worldly and that decreases the students change to know Jesus and be in heaven. 

Thank you again for remembering Valera’s birthday.  She felt very special and loved.

God bless you all,

Marisol, Goran and Valera”

Good morning,

Quote of the Week: 

All who consecrate soul, body, and spirit to God will be constantly receiving a new endowment of physical and mental power. The inexhaustible supplies of heaven are at their command. Christ gives them the breath of His own spirit, the life of His own life. The Holy Spirit puts forth its highest energies to work in heart and mind. The grace of God enlarges and multiplies their faculties, and every perfection of the divine nature comes to their assistance in the work of saving souls. Through co-operation with Christ they are complete in Him, and in their human weakness they are enabled to do the deeds of Omnipotence.  {DA 827.3}

Mike Rann will be speaking this Sabbath! Join us for worship and fellowship!

Blessings,

Mary
