Went to mass at 5:30 pm with Oma yesterday. There were about 150 people there. The church is so beautiful. But all that kneeling infront of statues - even statues of Jesus made me wonder if these things have become idols to the people - ? -

Oma was in a lot of pain before we left. I put my hand on her back and prayed my way (out loud). It was a good moment. I talked to Oma about what she believes and what I believe and about praying for forgiveness. Even though there are some hard places with my Oma, I feel comforted that she is saved. I must continue to pray for her to walk with the Lord to become closer/more intimate and that her spiritual eyes will be opened.

Also, before I left yesterday to go to my Oma's I showed Monika my Bible and talked with her about my church. I think Monika would love our worship.

Need to send her a tape of one of our services. I wonder if we have it on DVD? I know she doesn't have a VCR.
