Thank you for praying for us.
- We spent much of last week getting ready for the BJU Spanish Mission team. This was difficult as we were running around all week trying to help Juana and Reme's family. Reme also helps us here with teaching Spanish to the children and with the home--so things were much more complicated trying to get everything done. But the Lord already had planned to send us Mr.Frank Davis (who was a former teacher of ours)---He helped Mikey in Math and helped in numerous ways preparing for the team. Bethany our summer intern also was an incredible help.
The team spent all Saturday and Sunday driving from Northwest Mexico to Mexico City. They arrived on Sunday night/Monday morning at 1:15 AM. The team consists of 23 adults, college age young people and two tiny children of the team leaders. Today they gave out over 2000 tracts and invitations to our 3 special services that we are going to be having Wed-Friday nights at 7 o'clock each night. Please pray for visitors and for the gospel to go forth clearly and for the Lord to continue to call out His people in Mexico City.
As a further request, yesterday Memo and Karina's three children came down with chicken pox. They are extremely disappointed about not being able to attend the meetings. Please pray that the Lord will keep others from this if it's His will. Our three oldest are going to be flying home on July 4 to attend the first two weeks of camp at Peniel Bible Camp. Since we've already bought their tickets, we desire them to be well to go, but we do only want God's perfect will. - Thank you so much for praying for Fidel, Juana, Abram and their family. On Friday they were able to post bail for all three of them, (About $1,500 US Dollars) and Juana was back home at 7 PM. Fidel and Abram arrived at 4 in the morning. They are now free from the charges ???? and are in need of finding a new place to live. It appears that they will be able to rent a house near where we live up on the mountain. It needs some work before they can move in, but the Lord is working things out for them. Please continue to pray for the unsaved family members there to be saved. Thank you so much to many of you who have written and said that you are praying for their family. Please continue to pray for both Fidel and Abram to be saved.
- We had our third message in a series on anger on Sunday. There have been many encouraging comments about how the Lord is helping people to understand the differences between sinful and biblical anger.
- Please pray as Faith just had three wonderful opportunities with people that she has been trying to witness to at the childrens' sports activities. Lupita is going to come to Saturday's church get together with the team, Graciela who is suffering from multiple sclerosis is open to the Gospel and wants to meet with Mike, and Veronica and her family may also come to Saturday's church get together!
