Honored Guests

Greetings from Peru,
Have you ever felt very honored to have certain guests staying with you? Tonight as we rushed around to prepare a room for our guests I, Bethany, paused to realize that I felt so very honored to have these people staying with us! But why? Well, when Jonathan first came to Peru he took a trip to a small village to live with and learn from a Brother in the Lord for a week. This Brother's name is Augusto and Jonathan's respect and love for this Brother and his family grew the more time he spent with him. I heard about Jonathan's trip and so I, too, came to love and respect Augusto, his wife,Nilda, and family. And just this evening we spent time a church gathering with Augusto and Nilda. You see, Brother Augusto and Sister Nilda are very strong believers and they work very hard for the Lord here spite many physical troubles! They travel from village to village sharing God's Word book by book. Just tonight Nilda shared with me how she enjoys teaching the women of other villages that they are to be a helpmeet to their husbands and this is a gift from God. These two believers encourage us to go on with the work of the Lord here and we are so very honored to have the staying with us tonight!! So, we have a question for you. . .do you feel honored when those who deserve honor stay in your home? 
Thank you for your prayers!!
In Jesus, Jonathan and Bethany
