Unexpected Visit from Pastor Leslie

We did not have any plans today, so we worked on the blog. After lunch Carlos knocked at our door and said someone was here to see us. When we got out on the porch Pastor Leslie was there with 3 members of her congregation. We met Pastor Leslie 2 years ago when we came to Roatan and felt like God wanted us to renew our relationship with her. Pastor Leslie only speaks Spanish, so Carlos was our interpreter. We learned that Pastor Leslie had lost her brother, brother in law, and father in the last month. On top of that she had some benign cysts removed from her vocal chords. Through it all she says she can see God working and taking care of her. After we talked for a while we told her how God kept putting her on our hearts. So Bev boldly asked her if she had been praying for a revival here on Roatan. She said yes and how a lot of the Pastors on Roatan are meeting together and praying. She told us that on Monday’s the women Pastors on the island get together and pray. Bev once again boldly asked her if she could come to Monday’s meeting and share what God had put on her heart for Roatan. Pastor Leslie gladly said yes and then she asked John if he would be willing to preach next Sunday at her church. She told us that the doctor told her she cannot preach yet because of her throat. We again are very excited and humbled at the opportunity to share God’s love with His people. After they left Bev took our laundry to Ed’s Laundry and as she was coming back picked up a girl that was hitch hiking to West Bay. She was from Argentina and was headed down there to sale her jewelry. She was a traveler and will be heading to Nicaragua next. Bev asked her if she knew Jesus and she said no that mother earth was her god, but that she respected Bev and her Jesus. Bev shared that she really needed to get to know Him. Bev is hoping a seed was planted. We were not expecting what took place today. We appreciate everyone’s prayers and the privilege to serve (even if it is for a little while) the people of Roatan.
