Austin Gardner • June 29, 2022
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant
- Instead of talking and telling try listening!
- Hear what others have to say and how they feel
- Pay attention to them
- Take in what they are saying
- Do not be preparing what you will say next or how you will answer
- Do not interrupt
- Practice empathy
- Put yourself in the other person's shoes
- Join in the suffering, feel what they feel with them
- Understand from their point of view
- Be a healer
- Find their hurt and help them find victory
- Honor others before yourself
- Be respectful
- Give them freedom to be their selves
- Be grateful
- Strengthen the weak
- Be motivated by love
- Nothing matters as much as loving and expressing love
- No gift, no sacrifice, no belief, no position is anything without love
- Understand their needs and seek to meet those needs
- Do more than feel love, you must express the love
- Love like you have been loved. The loved, love. (the love of Christ constraineth us)
- The forgiven, forgive
- Seek His kingdom not your own
- Become a bridge to the success of others, lay down your life for His cause and purpose in their lives
- Don't be critical or judge others
- Practice humility which is not thinking of ourselves at all but making God everything
- Stop thinking of yourself as the priority
- Treat others the way you want to be treated

Starting in Mexico and continuing till today
Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.
In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary. Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
