Something Amazing

I've been meaning to write short post about this.

Last year my friend, Dave, who also teaches out here in Belize, had a bunch of his friends paired up with a student at Mt. Carmel High School. We would then pray for them throughout the year. I prayed for my student, L, every Monday ("Mission-Mondays"). I began to write him a letter in Spanish and I wanted my friend to help me with my Spanish but I never ended up sending it. Well, a couple of weeks ago I saw L (!!!) and I'd been praying that I would have an opportunity to talk to him. I finally had the chance and called his name. He turned and I said, "Hi, I'm Miss Bethany. Mr. Dave gave prayer partners to his friends and I got you last year. I've been praying for you every Monday for a year!" He looked surprised and he smiled and he said, "Really?" Now every time we see each other we say, "HEY!" I love it. I get so excited. The other students probably think I'm crazy haha It is simple but truly profound at the same time. Little did I know I would be able to speak to L in person and tell him face-to-face that I've been thinking of him and praying for him for a year! God is interesting like that...
