Recognition

Nancy brought with her on Sunday a special gift.  She had our “incorporation” papers mounted in a frame for us to display in the congregation.  It was evidence of our doctrinal exam approved and the testimony of several pastors who were present at our legal organization.

Just Serve God

 

Nancy came to our service in order to share about missions.  She talked about the first time she helped start a church.  It was our second church plant and she was a recent convert.  The stories of a team made up of a house wife, a hair dresser, an aerobics teacher, a pastor’s assistant and yours truly made for a motivating speech on, “Just Serve God” with whatever you’ve got.

New Home

Registration came with this card for Keila.  It’s now official.  She’s part of another organization far from home, and she’s loving it.  We wish you the best Keila and are excited with you for all the new adventures you’ll have and new friends that you’ll make.

New Help

Having prayed for an assistant in the youth group, one of the dads volunteered to help.  He’s getting to know the youth and preparing to give one of the studies.  He even participated in our balloon and cookies game mentioned yesterday.  Pray for Diego and God’s plans for him.

A Spark of Creativity

It is always a feat to be creative for our youth meetings and lately I came across some good resources for games.  This one required blowing up a balloon after having eaten 5 cookies.  It was a “blast.”

Life on Our own

With the girls away and getting settled in college, Kiana and I are making due with our meals.  Kiana is a real scientist creating and experimenting with new dishes.  Lots of them were with the overabundance of zucchini that we had in the house.

Looking good at 6 a.m.

We took Keila to the airport early in the morning for her flight to her new site.  Both girls had a traditional Mexican breakfast to start the day.  Here is our last shot from Mexico of the new university student.
