Meeting each other's needs
Missionary Katie Moore is getting settled into her home among the Nahuatl people. Right after her arrival a work team from the USA came to help.
“When they arrived, things really started moving. We raked and shoveled gravel, poured cement floors, framed walls, put up a fence, welded protection bars onto windows and dug a hole for a septic system.” Katie wrote. “We took a deep breath and then … built an outhouse, hauled water, tiled a shower, framed some doors and moved cement.”
Katie and her teammates used the cooperation and fellowship shown by the work team to show the Nahuatls how God’s family meets one another’s needs, something that is not a part of Nahautl culture.
“We are constantly trying to find opportunities to work on our language abilities, wrote Katie. “The phrase ‘niʔ neme moneštile mehikán’ means ‘teach me Nahuatl.’”
“Please pray that our minds would be sharp and that our will to study will be strong until we can clearly communicate the Gospel in the heart language of the people.”
