"Mexico is the world's 2nd market for job related stress, following China. Economic factors, social environments, violence, transportation challenges and family problems all contribute to the stress of most workers" (Reforma, page 2).This quote was no surprise to us when we read it yesterday. We know of people who get up at 5:00 AM to leave their homes by 6:00AM to take between 3 and 4 hours to get to work. One young lady in our church does this only to arrive at 10:00 AM! When she leaves work, she sometimes arrives as late as 10:00PM depending on the return traffic! Thankfully, for her, this is not every day. Some are not as fortunate. Most also work a half of a day on Saturday.
Working in the world's largest city is very challenging which is why finding extra time to work on the new church building could be equally as challenging. BUT WE HAVE A LORD IN HEAVEN THAT CAN MAKE THE DIFFICULT POSSIBLE! The men have had an excellent spirit facing this daunting task. Please pray for a very essential and important meeting that the men will be having tonight after prayer meeting to decide how we can rotate the work between all to be the most efficient.
Our illness still continues. We may be on the mend. Mike has lost over 10 pounds. Cheri is the worst now.
We depend upon your prayers,
Mike, Faith, Mikey, Cristi, Carissa, Matthew, Cheri, and Caralyn Goldfuss
