Panama Trip Parts 3 and 4- Baby Gabriella's Presentation/Mrs. Yahdira's Mikveh

This is a 2 part blog. The 1st part is about a baby named Gabriela Alejandra, and the 2nd part is about a lady named Yadira.

First: Baby Gabriela Alejandra.

Psalms 127:3
Look, children are an inheritance from YHVH, The fruit of the womb is the reward.

Psalms 71:5-6
For You are my expectation, Master YHVH, my Trust from my youth.
 Upon You I have leaned from my birth; You took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of You.

When we were in Panama with the Jimenez family introduced us to Viviana. She has been recently seeking the truth of Torah with the Jimenez and had been going through much turmoil in her life. Pray that she continues to search the truth and learns how to live her life like YHVH wants. Pray that YHWH provides for her and her 2 daughters.

 She has a baby girl 2 months old that was born prematurely. Her name is Gabriela Alejandra. She is a beautiful baby girl and so tiny.

On to the pictures:

Such an adorable little girl!

Mrs. Viviana wanted my dad to present the baby to YHVH.
The main point of this presentation is that the mother makes a vow to YHVH to raise the baby up as Torah says and raise her to be a woman of YHVH. It was a very beautiful presentation.
Pro 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he turns not away from it.

Deu 6:3-7  “And you shall hear (Shema-hear and obey), O Yisra’ĕl, and shall guard to do, that it might be well with you, and that you increase greatly as יהוה Elohim of your fathers has spoken to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one! “And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might. “And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart,  and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up,

Ahh! My mom loves little babies. SO cute!

Part 2 Mrs. Yadira's Mikveh

Acts 8:35-37

And Philip opening his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, brought to him the Good News: Yahshua! 36  And as they were going on the way, they came to some water. 

And the eunuch said, “Look, water! What hinders me from being immersed?” 

37  And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, it is permitted.”

And he answering, said, “I believe that Yahshua the Messiah is the Son of Elohim.”

This is a very cool story. The same day we did the baby presentation, one of the ladies, Yadira, comes and tells my dad that she wants to be Immersed(Mikvah). She had been immersed in the christian church but wanted to be Mikvah in the name of YHVH and Yahshua. We were trying to figure out a date and a place to do it when she asked, "Hey, there's water close by, why can't I be baptized today?"

The personal decision of Mikvah acknowledges and makes public confession of the sins (lawlessness) showing a repentant heart(T'shuv). In the Mikvah one is submersed  in a sign of being reborn and cleansed. HalleluYAH! Now she has Mikvah in the Name of YHWH and Yahshua HaMashiach.

  From now on we will call her Yahdira. Rejoice. Mat 28:19-20  “Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit, teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you. And see, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Amĕn. 

Please pray that the provision for us to return to Panama is supplied. We want to invest in peoples lives for a reward that has infinite value. There is a girl being instructed so she can Mikvah when we return.

Num 6:24-26 

“יהוה bless you and guard you;  יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you;  יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you Shalom/Shalem.”

Panama Trip Part 2- Blessed Family

Psalms 133
See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity –
2  Like the precious oil on the head, Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aharon, Running down on the collar of his robes –
3  Like the dew of Ḥermon, That comes down on the mountains of Tsiyon.
For there YHVH commanded the blessing, Life forever!

We had a blessed time while we were in Panama. We stayed with the Jimenez family.
More about them later. But for now, on to the pictures!

Getting ready for a trip in the back of a pickup.

In the front of the pickup??

THIS GROUP!!

We stayed with a very special family named the Jimenez. We met them at Sukkot this year. 

They are new to following Torah but are learning VERY rapidly. We were able to answer a lot of questions that they had. They were as blessed by what they learned from us as we were blessed by them letting us stay at their home.

Left to right: Kevin, Mr.Rafael, James, Kimberly, and Mrs. Betsy.

My blessed parents, brother, and I in a nice family picture.

My dad grabbed this small tree. Very nice balance if I must say so myself!

That's a beard!

Spending Shabbat together. The lady in the back is named Yadira. Will talk more about her in another blogpost.

My mom "teaching" some of the women to dance. It isn't as easy as what we think.

Kevin "blowing" the Shofar. That isn't easy either.

My beautiful Mommy!

GROUP PICTURE!! The mountain is so beautiful in the background.

Big smile!

Double smile!

James and Kimberly washing their socks! Imagine that! Washing socks by HAND! That's what you are going to see if you don't live in the states.

Ahhh! So cute. My mom holding Gabriella, a baby who we are going to talk about in another blog post. She is so adorable! Speaking of which, she will be our next blogpost. 


Until then....

Shalom!

Hmm... Big Mistake!

Well guys, if you tried to be on in the last hour, the blog wasn't working. Why?

Well, I was trying to make a Youtube channel to upload a picture. I wrote the blog's B-day in the birthday option, and something weird happened... 

When I entered, it said that the google account was locked and in 30 days it was deleted unless I showed proof that I was older than 13 years old! 

I was a little concerned... it said I had to either give an ID or pay $0.30 to re-open the account.

But thank YHVH I got some amazing help from our sister in Messiah, Mrs. Suzanne McDaniel. 

She used her credit card and paid for it. We can't thank her enough!

Her blog is http://yhwhleads.com.

Please thank her! I can't thank her enough!

Shalom!

Chag Sameach Hanukkah!

Exodus 27:20

“And you, you are to command the children of Yisra’ĕl to bring you clear oil

of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually.

Psalms 18:28

For You Yourself light my lamp; YHVH my Elohim makes my darkness light.

John 8:12

Therefore Yahshua spoke to them again, saying, 

“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall by 

no means walk in darkness, but possess the light of life.”

Matthew 5:14-16

“You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain. 

15  “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, 

but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house. 

16  “ So let your light so shine before men, so that they see your 

good works and praise your Father who is in the heavens.

John 10:22-23

At that time the Ḥanukkah came to be in Yerushalayim, and it was winter. 

23  And Yahshua was walking in the Set-apart Place, in the porch of Shelomoh. 

 As Yahshua was light, we are to be light. 

Yahshua thought that Hanukkah was very important. 

For what other reason would He be in the TEMPLE at that time? 

This is a time of dedication, to rededicate our lives to Him, to say that YES, we will be light! 

So LET us be the light of the world, and LET our light shine before all men, that they may SEE the way of the truth, and WORSHIP our Abba YHVH who is in heaven! HalleluYAH!!

So from our family to yours...
