Then we prayed for them and played some music about the sacrifice of Jesus. I shared what the Bible says about the suffering of Jesus and the love God has for us.<\/p>\n<p>I concluded the message by telling them that the two robbers on the crosses represent all humanity; both knew about Him, but they did not have a personal relationship with Jesus. After a few hours of being with Jesus in their worst case scenario, one criticized Him, mocked Him and rejected Him. The other one, recognizing that he was a sinner and that Jesus was a righteous man, humbled himself before the Son of God and said, \u201cRemember me when you enter\u2026\u201d Jesus loved him and saved him in the last moment of his life.<br \/>\n<strong>After the message we prayed, and two men and one woman gave their lives to Christ.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe celebrated the salvation with Mexican food \uf04a, and I offered to do more chaplain services for the department. Please pray for us and for the police force that I may be able to reach other departments in the Guatemalan area.<\/p>\n<p>We thank you for your spiritual and financial support for our lives; we<br \/>\ncontinue making a difference here in Guatemala by Emily teaching missionary kids, and I<br \/>\ncontinue sharing the Word of God here in Mexico, in Chichicastenango, and also in Chiapas,<br \/>\nMexico.<\/p>\n<p>PLEASE PRAY<br \/>\n\uf0b7 We ask you to please pray for the transition for our David as he graduates and moves<br \/>\nto the States. In part of June and July, we will visit Texas and help David with the<br \/>\ntransition. He will be in California from July 7 to August 13 doing some work and then<br \/>\nwill return to Texas to see what God has next for him.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Pray for new connections in the U.S.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Pray for more opportunities where I can continue to share the Word of God here in the<br \/>\ncapital.<br \/>\n\uf0b7 Pray for Emily\u2019s health, that she may continue to teach and embrace the academic<br \/>\nchanges at the missionary school.<\/p>\n<p>In His hands,<\/p>\n<p>Carlos<\/p>\n<p>All donations are tax deductible and may be sent to Heart for the Nations, P.O.
