The coming of Jonathan

Saludos (greetings),



As you guys already know the work I've been doing in Puerto Vallarta Mexico isn't quite pleasent to me because I never done something like this before. Digging holes, taking loads of trash and getting dirty and smell bad wasn't my idea of ministry at first. Bill came to me one day and said that there was going to come one guy from Switzerland and that he was going to be staying at his house for 6 weeks helping out in the ministry. I was glad to know I could make friends with someone from other country other than the States and Canada. I knew nothing about switzerland and the people there.



Sunday at noon after the service we went to have lunch and Bill went to pick up this new guy to the airport. We were almost done with our food when Bill and Jonathan show up to join us. Bill present Jonathan to the whole group and then we continued eating. I didn't have an oportunity to talk to Jonathan during lunch but once everyone was done me, Jonathan, Bill and his son carpool on Bill's suburban so I talked to him for a little bit. I was really surprise that in Switzerland they speak 4 lenguages: German, french,Italian, switzGerman. When I heard French I decided to try my french and try to speak it. He could'nt understand me but at least he correct me and I was glad I learned something at school.



Next morning as usual I get up early to be at Bill's house at 8:00am so me and JD can go to the mission and work on some more stuff. This time was different because Jonathan was coming also to help out. Me and JD gave a quick tour arround the mission and me and jonathan started digging some more for the water line to go through the yard to the street. I was glad to know I didn't have to dig all by myself. He turned out to be a farmer in his country and he was used to hard work. I felt bad to know I wasn't as hard worker as everyone in this country and switzerland. Even with all the differences we became good friends and we joke arround all the time with JD.



Me JD, and Jonathan did a lot of progress at the mission. And when I was getting used to work at the mission. Bill came to me and said I was going to change the ministry and I was going to start working at the church helping out with the bookstore ministry and the coffee shop. I was a litttle bit excited but I was also sad I wasn't going to be at the mission working with JD and jonathan. I started thinking about the things we can acomplish together at the coffee shop, bookstore ministry. and I started seeking the Lord and praying for direction.
