Tzanchaj Kids

I guess children are Nate's and my most delightful lot in life. Last Sunday we attended a church here in Tzanchaj that our friend Jose has been attending. We noticed how many children were in the service. Nate and Dave prompted me to go translate for them to ask the pastor, of whom we did not even know the name, if he would like us to start a Sunday school. We asked him to pray about it and ask his deacons their opinion, and we would get back to him. We went into town yesterday and found his house through questioning the townspeople, and asked him if he had an answer. His only qualm with us was that we would “abandon” the children as he had the unfortunate experience previously of his teachers when they went to college or got married. After asking us some questions, the pastor, “Don Philipe”, as we heard him called, has agreed to have us dedicate to Sunday school for the space of a year in the church. We are very excited about this opportunity, and the ability to instill Godly principles into the children of our town. We want to grow the kids here up to serve the Lord, follow His ways, and have abundant life. After all, as I like to say, God's ways are not grievous. Au contraire! They make for the healthiest, happiest, most successful life out there.
