Jesus Wept

So it's been a while since I've posted.
A lot has gone on. We've had our missions week. We were able to speak with almost all 44 of the missionaries KACC supports. What an amazing time. Pastor Shane put our picture up on the screen as an example of someone going out to be missionaries. We were able to speak to a lot of people in our church about Arizona and why we want to go. Then to top off this awe inspiring week we were given a letter from the Pastor and Elders of Ann Street Church of Christ in Australia. They have decided to support us as we transition to Arizona Reservation Ministries. I was speechless and you know me, that's saying something.
Anyway, Liz has been after me to post for a couple of weeks now and I didn't know what to say. Then it really came crashing down. Two of our homeless men died within the span of 2 weeks. Kenny Lommon and David "Junior" Garcia. I didn't really know Kenny all that well, but I did know Junior, he also went by "Chief". He was an Apache from the White River Reservation. I liked him very much. He told me he wanted to go with me to work on the San Carlos Apache Reservation. I miss him.
Today during our Community Assistance another homeless man, Eric, was in tears. In about 4 months he lost three very close friends Kenny, Chief and Alan Crosby.
Then John 11:35 "Jesus wept" made sense to me. Jesus knew that Lazarus would be raised from the dead.
John 11:33-35 "When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. "Where have you laid him?" he asked. "Come and see, Lord," they replied.
Jesus wept. "
He cried when he saw their grief, He cried for them, for their pain.
Today I cried for Eric.
