Letter #41

   
The Strikiest Strike - THE STRIKE CONTINUES
To be honest, it ended but restarted as an organized strike with a third party intervening and stuff like that. The gas station in front of our apartment was one of the only ones to receive gas during the one day break.

WHICH Led to little street riots and fights when people were rushing to get gas or prevent people from getting gas.

ENTER the army
​
So, we had a little house party while things cooled down, ate some new fruits that no one likes because everybody stocked up on food​ ​and did a whole lot of walking while the city transit was shut down.

And that's how it goes, eat weird stuff, avoid riots, and still get some work in.

During the house party, I had a really weird question enter my head. -What happened to Lazarus after he was resurrected? Just a random thought that came to me, so I went looking. I found the answer in John 12:9-11. "Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;  Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus."

So, what did he do? He became a living testimony of the Christ. So powerful was his testimony that he was number two on the Chief Priest's most wanted list. That's a pretty good way to live, a witness to the power and authority of God on the Earth. SO POWERFUL, that he was second only to Jesus.

That's the kind of testimony that is needed today, a testimony that even with all the troubles and problems in the world, even with the strikes and the riots and the day to day difficulties, a testimony that testifies of the Christ. I know that miracles still exist because I've seen them in my life, and I hope to be able to continue seeing them.

Let's see if the government will lower gas prices or not!!!!
