Psalm 62:1-5

This is random, but I want to tell you guys what I had for lunch the other day. I made a fresh turkey sandwhich with homemade bread, oregano and tomatoes. I had a mango and we made guacamole with fresh paltas (avacadoes) onions tomatoes garlic and salt. I love how fresh everything is.

Well now that Ashley is done bragging about the food, I guess I'll just mention a few things also haha. We are finding it harder and harder to find time to sit down and write about what has been going on in Chile. Our weeks have been filling up and we are staying pretty busy. Sometimes we just have to stop and rest in the peace of God's presence and what an amazing peace it is! We are finding that as we are doing so many things and pouring ourselves into other people, the most important thing that we need to do is rest in the comfort of our Savior. As we get busier and busier, the logical thing to do would be to cut things out that take up more time. I know in my experience, when I get really busy, I tend to cut out the very thing that I need most- time to rest with my God who wants to take care of me. I am writing this I think more to myself than to other people because this is something I need to keep practicing more and more. I have found that when I am most busy and stressed, the greatest peace that I can have only comes from God strengthening and comforting me. I want to share a verse with you that I hope can bring comfort in your life as it has brought comfort in ours. Psalm 62:1-5 says, "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." What powerful words! What an incredible thing for us to find much needed rest. Let this be an encouragement to all of you as it has been to us because I'm sure that many of you have schedules much busier than ours. Let God comfort you when you need it most. May you find rest, peace, and comfort in our wonderful Savior.

Love,
Zach
