We  use a saying in Hungarian when we want to describe two things that look just absolutely the opposite from each other. It goes like this:

" It's heaven and earth"

When I looked at these two pictures - our old place we stayed (first picture) and our new house and neighborhood (the second) this saying popped in my head right away. Don't you agree with me on this? It is such a big big praise on a daily basis for our team and for me personally too this blessing of the Lord's. THANK YOU FATHER!:-)

No more mud:0), no more daily disturbing loud music , dogs everywhere chasing you,  no more roaches and ants in our rooms nor crabs walking around , no fear of having to walk outside in the middle of the night if you happened to need to use the toilet and I could go on and on…I mean, we even have a guard at nights. The Lord is just so awesome!

This past week we finally got settled down in our new house, praise God, and got back to our normal schedule. It is cool, cause there is not a lot of changes concerning our circumastances. So it was soo good to go back and visit some families we are friends with in our old colonia ( neighborhood) and the sorrounding areas. It was a huge blessing seeing their joy to see us again as well as going back to our internships ( the prison for me) and spend time with the people there.

But as I was walking around in our new neighborhood, something hit me right in my heart. See those houses on the picture? Even my american teammates have told me that not even their house at home is as nice as these houses down here. Well, that is something! Then the Lord reminded me of Jesus' words in Mark10:23

"HOW HARD IT IS FOR THE RICH TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD"

And you know, so far we did not have the chance to minister to rich mexicans, since AIM's primary goal is to reach out to the poor. But now it definitely looks like the Lord is giving us opportunities to reach out to the rich as well. No wonder, since He Himself said that it is so hard for them to enter His Kingdom.

So, I would like to ask you to pray pray pray hard for open doors,  softened hearts in our neighborhood. It is definitely harder! As we walked around in little groups on Sunday morning you could sense that these people were  a lot more reserved, closed up as the poor society.

Sad, but what an opportunity to rely on the Lord's mighty power that can move the mountains,Who is mighty to save!!! We serve a powerful God friends! Thank you for praying, in this way serving together with me here in Matamoros!  I really appreciate it!
