Blais<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI want the Christians in America to know how I came to understand the Gospel so more of them will be missionaries and I want my family to know my testimony so that they will also believe that Jesus died to pay for their sins so that they can be in His family like I am,\u201d was the response that Blais gave me.\u00a0 I had my recorder with me and had been asking him questions about his life and his testimony, and had asked him what he wished could be accomplished through telling his story.<\/p>\n

That was just over a month ago when he could still talk well and get around.\u00a0 Since that time the cancer growth (we think it was cancer) on his neck began to grow at a rapid rate and started affecting his speech, breathing, and ability to get around.\u00a0 Three weeks ago he made his way to the believers\u2019 meeting.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t have known that day that he was a man dying with little energy.\u00a0 He couldn\u2019t stand still as he lifted his hands and sang praises to God for what Jesus had done for him.<\/p>\n

That was his last big outing.\u00a0 From that time on eating became difficult and his voice disappeared.\u00a0 His body became frail, \u00a0but every time I went to see him, despite the pain, the joy in his life seeped through his smile. Today, early in the morning, he breathed his last breath here on earth and went to his new home in heaven.\u00a0 The pain is gone, the sickness is gone, he is all better now.<\/p>\n

We are praising God for his testimony and that he is in heaven now.\u00a0 We are able to reflect on the many things he helped us with at our house, his salvation, the Bible lessons he helped us write, his baptism, the land he gave for the literacy building and many other things.<\/p>\n

Thank you to many of you who have been praying for him.\u00a0 Continue to pray for his family who are mostly unsaved.<\/p>\n

Left behind for now,<\/p>\n

Aaron<\/p>\n

PS.\u00a0 A note from Lori- Our first two weeks of literacy are finished and have gone well.\u00a0 We have many more to go!\u00a0 Thank you for your prayers\u2026more to come on that subject.<\/p>\n

Fact \u2013 Traditionally in their animism, the Patpatar bury people with their feet facing the East, so that their spirit will be able to see the sun come up the next day and be able to leave the body.<\/p>\n
