Bobby Anderson

I do not have a picture to go along with this post. I like to have pictures to go along with the things I write because I think people in general like to see pictures. Sunday night was the last night of our mission's conference. We had Pastor Richardo Leite, a Brazilian missionary, preach for the conference. Our church supports him but had never personally met him. We support several missionaries we have never met because it is just so expensive to get where we are because of the distance. On Sunday night a boy named Bobby Anderson came to church. Bobby is 17 years old and is in the same piano class as our daughter Hannah who is 11. Hannah had invited Bobby to church along with her teacher and others in her class. Bobby had been coming for several months. Well on Sunday night Bobby came forward and gave his heart and life to Jesus. I just wish you could have seen Hannah. She had tears streaming down her face. She is so very excited. Ana Jessica was saved on Tuesday and then Bobby on Sunday. She told me just today, "Mom, I really think that God is going to save my piano teacher." She had been telling her piano teacher the effects of smoking as he smokes. She was continually giving him a little lecture. Then one day she wrote him a note telling him she was just concerned for his health. He has since stopped smoking. Pray for our children. Pray that they would always have a desire to serve Him with their lives. This is probably a bit of a brag moment for me as I am just really proud of my daughter. I am certainly not saying she is perfect as we do have our moments here at the house, but I am slowly watching her change. I happen to think that I have the most beautiful daughter in the world, but I desire for her inward beauty to be much greater than her outward and that she always reflects Jesus with her life.
