Book

I went to go see a family the other day, one that we have known for a long time that I visit pretty often. The oldest daughter of the family has something wrong with her leg and she can not walk. The next daughter is about 20 and I found out a few weeks ago that she is engaged. It would be unusual for the second daughter to marry first, but since the oldest is disable she may not ever marry. (She has been disabled since she was just a few months old). The daughter who is getting married, her name means "rich" she thought that she would be living in this city after marriage. Even though her husband if from another city, he would come here to work, instead he travel to the country to the north for work. That means in about 8 or 9 months she will be moving. She will move to the other city, which is more like a village to live with his family, none of whom she has met. She will not see or even talk to her future husband before the wedding night. Even through all of this she is excited, somewhat, excited and scared! After talking about that, the conversation turned to religion and she asked me for a Book. She seems really interested in reading and finding out more. While there her mother asked me how I pray, so I started telling her how when we pray we are just talking to God, it is not rote or memorized it is just about growing closer to Him and hearing what He has to say to our hearts. She then told me about how they pray and to show me the 5 pr. positions. As she was doing this her daughter said "she already knows all this you don't need to do that." Through the entire conversation she never argued with anything I said and she and the oldest daughter seemed very interested. I also was able to share about the differences in why and how we fast. Through all of it, I was able to talk about the relationship with have with God, and how that is the most important thing. The daughters were also very interested in the fact that the Book contains all 3 Books. The Old and the New and Psalms. They did not know that all three will come in one book. I will be going back soon to bring her the Book in her language. Please be lifting that time up and all the moments that follow as she reads and learns what the Lord says!!!
