Preaching in Spanish again

Ronald Tubillas, pastor of Iglesia Bautista Vision, is on a trip to Guatemala preaching in the church that Bro. Wayne Cooke started. Be praying for him as he preaches there.
Bro. Tubillas also asked me if I would fill his pulpit while he was out! I will be preaching Sunday am and pm. Please be praying for me that God will use His word through me and that He will be glorified in all I say and do. I feel very privileged, and at the same time, humbled to have the opportunity to fill the pulpit for a great man of God like Ronald. I will write tomorrow night and let you know how it goes.
God Bless,
David

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Well, I haven't posted anything since I was in Peru, back in July and August. I know, I should be trying to work at this harder and keep everyone up to date on what is going on and what God is doing. Well, I guess I am turning over a new leaf and starting over with this blog thing on the day of my birthday (its actually night time right now).
I really have to thank God for having people around me that love me and care for me. I am the baby of the family that always wants the center of attention to be yours truly, but I was so humbled today to get a "happy birthday" from all of the people that I care so much about. I called Bro. Blackstock to ask him if he wanted to go out to eat and by the time we sat down at the restaurant, we had a party going! He had called a lot of my friends and had all of them meet us at Longhorn, I was really humbled that he would try to throw an impromptu birthday party to let me know how much he loved me, it was one of the greatest birthday parties I think I have ever had. Just to know people care.
Not only that, but my dad wrote me a letter telling me how much he loved me and how proud he was of me and published it for the world to see in his blog, it meant so much to me that not only would he tell me all of those beautiful words, but at the same time, tell the world what he felt about me.
My brother wrote that some of the happiest and most special times in his life had me in the picture. WOW! I guess I make him laugh pretty hard huh?
My best friend, Alonso, wrote how he has come to know the Lord because he met me. I can't tell you how many thoughts of gratitude, happiness and joy came through my mind today. It was a great day. But one of the main thoughts was that I did not deserve any of this, but God has been a great God and given me friends and family that I don't deserve.
I want to thank everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday and promise you that I will TRY to remember yours when it comes around. Thank God for all of you.
