These words were written by my friend, Francisco, who lives in Lima, Peru. He received his Ph.D. in engineering from Texas A&M. We actually overlapped a bit at TAMU, but we didn't know each other. He visited my home church, Westminster, after we left, and some folks told him that we were down in Trujillo, Peru. When he returned, he looked us up and came for a visit in Trujillo. He has a great heart for the Lord, has just recently joined the presbyterian church in Lima pastored by MTW missionary, Mark Barry, and I'm excited for the help Francisco will be to the future of Christ's kingdom here in Peru.
"So this I find, that both unshared joy and joylessness are capable of killing the soul slowly. Therefore I must share my joy in God with others or else my soul will wither when the morning dawns on me."
Francisco, thanks for all the great conversations! And thanks for sharing your joy with me.

John,
Thanks for the link! And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you last Tuesday. I'm blessed to have you as my friend and brother. Btw, I'll try to set up the skype account and get back to you soon.
Love in Christ,
Francisco
