I bet who's your favorite disciple is a question you haven't thought of a lot is it? That was the topic of conversation for the language class today. I think two people said Peter, one said John and I said Matthew. I said Matthew because Matthew was a tax collector and I enjoy doing jobs like that. Also Matthew wrote a book which I would like to do someday as well. For this point the teacher emphasized to me not to say in the future but to do it now. She said so many times we say I'll do it in the future but the future never comes because you keep saying in the future.
I said I don't know if Matthew had a family or not but he had a family in the family of God. I like Matthew because when Jesus said come follow me, thats what he did. There wasn't any hesitation on Matthew's part. He said okay and he went. I would think that is a picture of the obedience which God wants from each one of us.
When I'm answering these questions in Spanish my main thing is to keep it simple. But how many times do we make things more difficult than what they should be. Everyone says that the Gospel is simple. When you think about it, it is simple, just believe in God and trust Him. Just something for you to think about...My question for you is Who is your favorite disciple? Look in Matthew 10:2-4 for a listing of the 12 disciples.

Carol, your message is great and should be in the devotional book for missionaries (like the one you gave me). Nancy
