Dear praying friends,
We apologize for not getting an update out last week. Our family was very much under the weather--with dad and mom being the two sickest. There were coughs, colds, dizziness, headaches,--the works. It was one of the hardest times we've been hit in 13 years of living in Mexico. Some of it is still hanging on this week, but we seem to be over the hardest part of it. Thank you for praying and please ask that the Lord would keep us healthy. It really has been a while since we've all had a bout with sickness so we are very thankful. The pollution has been very very concentrated the past few weeks. Last week one lady mentioned to us that it was the worst that she'd ever seen it in 20 years of coming and going and living in Mexico City. Although it is not rainy season right now, we have had 2 or 3 little showers just to clean out the air a little bit for which we are VERY grateful. Please pray for the Lord's work and protection in us.
Due to all of the coughing, Morgan said that he would teach SS and preach on Sunday. That was a blessing as Mike wouldn't have been able to get very far without coughing. Please pray for Morgan to continue to develop in his teaching and preaching and to be used of the Lord mightily. Please also pray for his Bell's Palsy as his partial facial paralysis is still there--although it is getting somewhat better.
We have been very happy to have Janet back in our services more regularly. Last Sunday she came to our home for dinner with her sister Vanessa. About 8 months ago Janet was very tempted to be going out with a man who is unsaved. We strongly counseled against that, but she really wanted to do her own thing. She is now 4 months pregnant. The man (she later found out) is married and has a family. She really seems to be broken about her sin and wants to go further in her walk with Christ. This past Sunday she wanted to stand before the church and confess that to them, ask their forgiveness and their support for going forward. Please pray that this situation will show God's great grace again in Janet's life, that it will draw people together in love for Janet and for each other, and serve as another grave reminder that sin is not something with which to be trifled.
Since talking with Jose and America 3 weeks ago now, they have not been back to church. It appears that her dad and mom (Francisco and Blanca) want them to go to this other charismatic/pentecostal church. Please intercede that the Lord would intervene and bring all of them back to His church here.
Martha was present for two straight Sundays but missed this past Sunday. We also had a lady (Marbella) with two children visit a week ago. Many of you remember praying for Jesus and Analilia and their 4 children. Jesus is the one who has had the hip replacement and needs one more as well as two knee replacements. They really had just dropped off the map during the past three or four months, but Analilia showed up, without Jesus, but with their four children for the last two Sundays. Praise the Lord and pray that He would save this family for His honor and glory.
We appreciate your prayers,
Please pray that we can get back on top of things healthwise.
In Christ,
The Goldfii
