Dear Praying Friends,
Greetings from cool (and sometimes cold) and rainy Mexico City. I'm sure most of you, when you think of Mexico, think of hot, sunny and dry. Standing in our driveway in front of our house, we are at 9,958 feet above sea level (we know because someone with a GPS system came a little while ago and told us what our elevation was). We are in our rainy season right now and there are many days when the sun doesn't come out at all or only for a very short time. We had a tremendous rain storm last night and probably had over three inches of rain in about an hour. Today we've probably had over an inch.
Pray that the Lord would pour us out showers of blessing also spiritually.
A blessing on Sunday was that Mauricio, his wife Susana, and their two children attended our services. They attended when the BJ Spanish team was here and she has come several Wednesday nights with the children. They really enjoyed the services and are part of the family of 20 possible attendees. :-) Praise the Lord for them.
A huge blessing when we showed up for our services on Sunday morning was to see Marcos and Elsa with their little baby, and Miguel and Alondra with their little Christofer. You may remember that we have prayed for years for these twin sisters. For a time they lived with us, then with Juana and then with Teresa. We occasionally see Miguel and Alondra but haven't seen Elsa for more than a year. Please continue to pray that the Lord would bring these two girls to Himself and the two young men with whom they live.
Morgan has been preaching on Wed. nights and is currently preaching on the 10 Commandments. The last several weeks have been extremely encouraging as we see him get the people's attention and proclaim God's Word Continue to pray for his development in this area.
Our men's meeting this past Saturday was our worst attended yet, but Humberto, Erasmo, Memo and Mikey all had some good discussion to add to our study on elders in the church. Please continue to pray that the Lord will raise up men to lead and oversee the church here.
Sra. Gloria and her mother Maria made it for SS this past Lord's Day. They had to leave for church though because Sra. Gloria feels dizzy from her diabetes and high blood pressure. Sylvia was not able to come due to more upheaval in her family. Please pray that the Lord would allow her to be a testimony to her family and at the same time not be so burdened down with all of their baggage. Teresa, Sylvia's sister, was able to make it Sunday, which recently, is a huge blessing anytime her husband will allow her to come.
Continue to pray for Jose and America. Her stitches opened up from her C-section on Saturday so they were not able to make it Sunday. Pray for quick healing in the Lord's will.
Faith is trying to get ready for another year of homeschooling which is coming up all too quickly. We are thankful that we will have a young lady, Melissa Pate, down to help Faith with that monumental task this fall. Please keep that undertaking in your prayers.
Thank you so much for praying for us,
In Christ,
Mike for all the Goldfii
