Understanding from God


I've been wanting to upload some pics and haven't been able to, so here's one of the group in Zapotitlan. I'll upload a ton to Facebook at some point.
Last night I was thinking about how it seems like I always understand what I need to. I might not understand what someone is asking me about my life, or when Johanna tells me where her husband is, but I totally understood when Johanna told me that we are going to Zapotitlan next Thursday for 10 days. I've decided that understanding is from God. He knows what I need to know and what is just conversation. And He makes me understand what I need to know. You might ask why He doesn't let me understand everything. Well, I wouldn't work so hard on learning Spanish if He did. He knows that too.
So it looks like I'm heading to Zapo next week with Johanna & her kids and another family??? I understand the big picture, but sometimes miss the details. :) I'm glad to be going there, but I know it's going to be hard. I'm afraid the language barrier will be particularly evident, and the living conditions are rougher than the city. But I'm excited to be going because I know God is moving, I'll have work to do and I'll be appreciated.
