...
This is just a quick note to pass on some sad news and to ask you to pray. Those of you who've been here will know who Jose Miguel is. He called me this morning (he's not living here these days, but we've kept in good contact) to tell me that his father died yesterday. This comes less than a year after his mom dying last February. This has, obviously, already been a difficult and sad year for him.
I'm leaving right now to go out to the town where he lives (it's a couple of hours out of Santa Cruz). They'll be having the funeral this afternoon. I'm a little nervous...this will be my first funeral on my own. This family is quite poor and is very traditional in the sense of having some stranger religious beliefs. But for sure Jose Miguel will need support and friendship through all of this.
Please pray for Jose Miguel and his family as they work through all the emotions and difficulties that come with the death of a family member. Pray as well for Jose Miguel...he's been making some bad choices this past year, and I'm worried that this will make the situation worse for him. Pray for wisdom and strength for him. As well, if you could pray for me, I would appreciate it. Like I said, I'm not quite sure what this day will hold...I'll certainly need guidance and wisdom as well.
Thanks everyone. I'll let you know how things go when I have a moment.
