As we were about to start the Sunday morning meeting I looked up to see Saul guiding Sebastian to a seat. Sebastian is over eighty years old and completely blind. He and his wife, Martha, who is also blind, live in Santa Cruz. They used to visit us together but she is not able to travel now. They met while studying at an institute for the blind where they learned to read in Braille and do macramé. For many years they supported themselves with their handy work. Sebastian still gets around; he travels alone and does very well.
After the meeting he had dinner with us. If we would allow him to share in the evening meeting he wanted to stay and spend the night with us. Everyone is impressed when Sebastian reads from his Braille Bible. He always has something good to share. He asked for prayer for his son who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. After spending the night with us Marcos took him back into the city.
Sunday afternoon we got a call from Saul. The driver of the vehicle that ran into him was back in town waiting for his vehicle to be repaired. They needed a place to spend the night. Saul doesn’t have room so he asked if they could spend the night with us. Now we were able to get to know them, Florencio and María. They had supper with us and went to the evening meeting with us (Saul was preaching that night). After breakfast they headed back to Cochabamba. We had a nice time with them and made some new friends. Pray that the seed sown with produce fruit.
Praise the Lord for a house with enough room and praise Him for the people He sends to fill it.
