She's up at 5 each morning.  Her brothers come over from their little studio apartment next door.  She has the bigger place with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and private bathroom.  Their day starts with devotions.  Since she's the strong Christian and it was her idea, she is in charge.  Nearly every day she stays after work to study and prepare for tomorrow's devotions.  She is very concerned about her brothers.  She wants more than anything that they would all walk well with the Lord.  Her other brother, Romeo does know the Lord.  But he's a pretty young Christian.  Their little brother Herman does not know the Lord.  But he is interested.  He is going to a church with a friend, but she wants him to start going to a better church.  One where the gospel is preached.  Romeo is in a good church.  None of them will go with her to church as they were told by the family some years ago that Doris was in a cult and they don't want any part of it.  But little by little they are getting to know who she really is in Christ.  They like what they see.  

They went through the book of Proverbs, the book of wisdom.  She wanted them to learn about God's wisdom and how it applies to the lives of young people.  Now she is teaching them about baptism.  They were all baptized as babies.  She wants them to understand what it means to be baptized after one joins God's family.  

They like her Bible studies.  Everyone is learning and seeing the value of being in the Word.  Maybe someday soon Herman will give his life to the Lord.
