In Guatemala the water is very
dirty and polluted, but God has blessed my family and Paradise Bound with clean
healthy water to bathe and wash in. We
have access to a fresh water spring not too far from the Base.
Many weeks ago
when we would turn our faucets and showerheads on, the water didn’t really look
like water. So as the days went on the water got darker and darker.
Now many people can
assume that maybe a pipe started to rot or the faucets were old, but what
really happened was that there was a mudslide that ran through our whole water
system. The fresh water spring was filled with mud and muck. So the water system had to be drained and
cleaned so we could have clean water again.
For the past couple
of weeks my brother Caleb, and I have been learning that our minds can become
dirty just like the water was polluted by mud. Our minds can also be polluted
by internet, pictures, videos, TV, and sometimes even books.
We are learning that it is up to us to not be tempted and to
trust in God and do what he wants.
Always praying for you.
-AJ
