Rolando receives the rest of his Braille Bible.

 It is kind of funny, as I sat in the little 10×10 room with Rolando he began to share more about his blindness. He had asked for several books of the Bible he was missing to have a complete Bible. This is something I have heard and tried to help with for now almost 4 years. This past January Rolando received a Braille typewritter. We thought this was a wonderful thing as did he but hearing his thoughts on this were different than I knew.

He shared that he had never requested a Braille typewritter. He knew that he was still waiting on the Braille Bible as well. He realized that the day he received the typewriter and that God would provide the Bible that he became at peace with being blind. He had thought prior, that maybe he hadn’t received them because God would restore his vision.

After several, several years of asking, writing calling and much prayer Rolando received the 20 some books he was missing to complete his Braille Bible! He had aquired several books, mostly the new testament over the years but was never able to get the other books. We had tried very hard to get them to him and even had groups that were responding saying “they are on the way” but for Guatemala we know that can be years! But just last week a fellow missionary who had also spoken of Rolando had received the books in Braille that he was missing!  Rolando now says, it is easy and peaceful to accept his blindness, God has now provided everything he needs.

Praise God for his faithfulness and for meeting his needs!
