Encouraging signs

I've been encouraged lately seeing some folks begin to participate in the activities of our congregation. One of the ladies will begin teaching the Wednesday night ladies' class, and someone will translate into English what she's saying! Awesome!

I attribute this to a few of things:
  1. She has always been an active member of our Spanish-speaking group, but until now really hadn't done much since our move to the English-speaking congregation.
  2. One of the ladies from the English-speaking group has asked her to help in a few other things.
  3. We have had several visitors from our computer lab (which has been an excellent source of Spanish-speaking visitors, by the way. More on this later.) They have been attending some of the different classes, asking for translators (especially for the ladies' class), etc.
May the Lord continue providing us opportunities here to serve the community the gospel and providing for their earthly needs.
