Me, "Jeyson, are you bringing the welder?!?"
Jeyson in a completely natural way (as if he had just packed his toothbrush), "Of course! You never know when someone needs something welded!"
So in the welder went, and we headed to Lika and Mario's house. The next morning when I woke up, Jeyson was already up. I went outside and guess what found him doing?
Welding, of course! Recently the mission had bought an old rickety trailer that they need to lug large quantities of food, supplies....and really anything large to the base. Unfortunately, the trailer was not usable since the unpaved roads are so bumpy there and the axle was about to fall off. Everyone was so glad Jeyson brought the welder and put him right to work.
Jeyson had tons of assistants ready to help! The three men on the left are from a Christian rehab center that YWAM helps to run. They were very interested in learning some tips since here any skill (including welding) is another opportunity for work and a way to stay off the streets!
Jeyson has the hope of teaching men from the rehab center some skills like this in a more formal and ongoing way.
In the 2 years we've been married I've learned so much from Jeyson...
I haven't learned anything about welding (though I'm sure he'd be excited to teach me....wouldn't that be romantic :)....
But I've learned a ton about serving and ministry....
So often we wait for opportunities to come knocking on our door, but I've learned from Jeyson that you have to first make yourself available and then you'll never stop finding opportunities.
I wish I had gotten an after picture, but the trailer is all ready to be put to use keeping the base running! Thanks Jeyson! And thanks Bob and Lynn for the welder....it's been such a blessing to many! (PS - how we got the welder into our suitcases and on a plane to Brazil along with a bread machine, wedding dress, and a Kitchen Aid stand mixer is another story :)
