It is Well With My Soul

Hey all,

Nazca was awesome. It was fun, there was good food, good stories, and it was awesome to see the other team members. We got to hear how the other teams were doing, and we got to worship together. I was really convicted about living only for him, and not for my own selfish desires. God´s got much better plans for my life than I do. Also really cool was the fact that upon return, everyone in Laramate was really excited to see us! I am so excited to be back, and we have a lot of work to do. We´re going to try to start a children´s ministry tomorrow, and we have 3 Bible studies this afternoon. This morning after teaching, 2 professors came up to us and asked if we could study the Bible with them. THen Matt went to the store and the lady there said that she had been reading the Bible we gave her and that she wants to study with us. AMEN! I´m excited. PLease do pray that leaders may be raise dup here. We have just over three more weeks here in Laramate, before we start traveling. I´m so encouraged when I hear people are praying for us. We are praying for you, too.

IN Nazca, one team said that they have been teaching ENglish with the lyrics to It is Well with My Soul. I´ll finish the blog with those lyrics, because they´re awesome. I hope you can enjoy the 4th of July for us!

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Miss you all!
