It hasn't been but 2 full days and your prayers for our protection have come into play....big time!!!!!! I am so excited to tell you about this experience I had yesterday. So I (Nathan) went to downtown San Jose yesterday to find some Christmas presents and had a real good time with some friends, tasting coffee and bartering with the tico's. As we were making our way toward the opposite end of avenida central our friends bumped into some tico friends of theirs. As we were talking with them they said to us, "um ok, you guys are about to be robbed and you have been followed by these three guys for a while now. I want you to turn around a look directly at them and wait for a few minutes." So we all (about 9 of us, including the tico friends) turned around and just stared them down for a few minutes until our tico friend said, "ok you guys continue walking and I will keep staring these three down and will have 'some words' with them if they start following you again." So we continued to walk and they the three "thiefs" took off some other direction. Hhhmmm you ask why would I be so excited to tell you that? Well, just think about it for a minute....We have been praying for God's protection around us and have asked you to pray with us and now here is ANOTHER answer to that prayer. And on one of the busiest days of the year in San Jose, we just "happen" to bump into some tico friends who were able to use their well accustomed "sense" and realized we had been stalked. Happenstance....I think not. Keep in mind that there may come a time when I actually get robbed but that doesn't mean that God "forgot" to protect me. It is just a simple reminder that sometimes our protection doesn't always look like God's protection does it????
Entonces (anyway), thanks for your prayers...much appreciated!!! By the way, this picture is taken from our house and is sitting on top of a mountain peak nearby.
