I spoke with Isabel tonight, and I wanted to ask you all to pray about something when you have a moment.  Before I left, I had a talk with one of the guys regarding some serious choices he was making.  We had a good conversation, and I think he understood what I was telling him.  I had to lay down some consequences for what he had done, and at the time he seemed okay with that.  I found out tonight though, that he hasn’t been following through on what we talked about.

So…Jorge (our pastor who’s helping out at the house while I’m gone) is going to sit down and talk to him tomorrow.  If you could pray for wisdom for Jorge, and for him to be able to connect with this young guy.  This fellow needs to understand that his actions are wrong and are going to seriously affect his future if he continues.  I’m not really sure what’s going to happen here.  I think there’s a chance this guy might make the decision to leave.  I’m praying that doesn’t happen, of course.  Please pray for this young guy as well.  I don’t think he’s stopping to think through the situation very well. 

One good thing in all of this, is that Jorge understands what this young guy is going through.  He’s made similar choices in his past.  So he’s a good person to have this conversation with this guy.  Other than this situation, by the way, things are going well back at the house.  Thanks for praying for that as well.

This weekend I’m off to YC in Edmonton with my sisters, so that should be fun.  It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything like this.  =)  But I’m looking forward to it!  It’ll be good to  hear some teaching (in English) and be a part of some good worship times (in English).  =)  And I have no youth group to watch over…so I’m pretty much going to do my own thing.  If I feel like sitting in the car and having a nap…so be it.  Well, actually…I think I did that when I was responsible for the youth group too.  But this time I don’t have to feel guilty about it….

Well…actually…not sure I felt guilty about it last time either…

As I said, thanks for praying!  I’ll keep you updated on how things turn out…
