Goldfuss update (January 26)

Dear Praying friends,

Thank you for your continued prayers.

On Saturday, we had our men's work day. Memo, Marcos, Nico, Humberto and I all were able to work on getting different things done. We made some good progress. Most of the men who are coming to do the work, leave for work about 8 in the morning and return home about 8 at night. The fact that they would come to work for most of Saturday when they haven't been with their families all week is a real testimony. Please pray for other men who could also do some work but put other things first.

We do excuse Morgan from coming to the work days as he is preaching in our church on Wednesday nights and also at the new work in Zitacuaro, Michoacan on Sundays. Yesterday was their second service and the four people again were very interested in God's Word. Please keep this fledgling work in your prayers for:

1. Morgan's faithfulness.
2. Morgan's strength.
3. Continued interest in the Word of God and for God to save them.
   

We have really missed Morgan and his mother (Guille), father (Alejandro), and brother (Christian), but we are thrilled that they are going to try to help this new work to be started. Continue to pray for Alejandro and Christian's salvation.

Yesterday the women reacted to all of the men's work by volunteering to bring the last of the needed items for the church. I suggested that we wait a week or two with the men to finish the work so that they could spend some time with their families, but they said that they want to get the work DONE so that we can use the new SS rooms. Praise the Lord for their desire.

Please continue to pray for:

1. Martha--her health and family problems. Martha was not present yesterday and we aren't sure why.
2. Sra. Gloria---she found out last week that her eye problems are from two cataracts and she needs surgery. She also has other complications from her diabetes.
3. Uriel and Mildred are a young couple in our church who are going through some difficult times. Uriel was unjustly fired from his job. Mildred has had interest in spiritual things, but currently is fighting with Uriel over the leadership in the family and has not been attending regularly. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to open her understanding of the gospel.
   

This week our homeschool Peniel Christian Academy is copying Mentor Christian School (where we grew up)-- and we are having Spirit Week. Today is bad hair day--pictures included.

Thank you so much for praying,
In Christ,
Mike for all the Goldfii
