My host family had a guest over tonight. He was a very strongly opinionated athiest and either a communist or anarchist. He spoke English and spent the whole dinner talking about how religion is stupid and is the reason the world is so corrupted and wrong. He also says that only certain people have any purpose in the world. Only a few people who can actually do something in the world. I didn't have a chance to but in and give my missionary point of view but I definitely made him contradict himself. I found out the other students here are at least against religion. I'm still in shock from what I've heard. Please pray for my host family, and the other students living with me. They really need it. Maybe God put me here for a reason. I'll have to see what opportunities God presents to me. Please pray also for me to have the strength and the means to make a difference when the time comes.
I copied that out of an email I sent earlier. I never thought that I may be called to help non guatemalans. Again please keep these people and I in your prayers.
It is times like these that make you, Chris. You left thinking that your mission was to the Guatemalan population, and soon it will be. But first our God saw you fit for the task of communicating with an atheist. I advise you to read (or reread) Romans chapter 1 and 2 (or further if the Spirit leads you). ANd remember Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) - "Many are the plans of a man's heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails."
