I had an interesting and encouraging experience yesterday.  The women's group at our church here in Panajachel meet every Wednesday afternoon.  They have decided to have a Bible Study one week a month.  The other Wednesday's, they do other things, like:  visiting, learning new songs, and some kind of craft project to help the community.  These women are precious Christians, but have never actually done a Bible study where they have had to search in their Bibles themselves. Other times, someone may give a short devotional, kind of like a really short sermon.  One of our women doesn't read at all, but I hope she will continue to come.  Actually she usually falls asleep.  Anyway, yesterday afternoon we started a new study on the women of the Bible, beginning with Eve. I taught it, in Spanish!  With much help translating from the Lord!  We looked at all the Scriptures that mention Eve, discussed the events in her life that God had permitted, and her response to these circumstances. The pastor has been very supportive for me to do this, but he stayed close, holding their baby while listening to make sure I could actually do it, and I think to see how the women reacted to this type of study.  They were a little hesitant at first, then a couple of them really got into it and started getting brave enough to answer questions, etc.  Then, today, when I saw one of the women, she said that all the women really enjoyed the study.  So, my prayer is this: that they would see how full of wonderful treasures our Scripture is and that they would want to study it more and more.  For the next month, they are memorizing Col. 2: 6,7 -  So then, just as you received Jesus Christ as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
