"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 5:20
At the beginning of November we ended our parables kids' club. This is because we started AWANA in the middle of November. I really enjoyed this kids' club, we had so much fun and the kids were always so excited to learn with us. Now that AWANA has started we have about 40-50 kids each Saturday afternoon in the park. We play games, sings songs, memorize verses, learn bible stories, do crafts and enjoy time together. I am helping with singing and the littlest kids.
In October we did many fun ministry things. One of those being a pizza party at my house with the youth girls. The other was breakfast at a coffee shop with the ladies from bible study. Wonderful times of fellowship.
Not everything we do here is work. On Thursdays I have my day off. One beautiful day Frank, Rebecca, Sarah, Sarah's mom and I went on a hike to this gorgeous place just a few miles from Vallarta. The water was so clear and the sky so blue. Can't wait to go back!
Happy Thanksgiving! On the actual day we celebrated at Frank and Rebecca's house. We ate delicious food, played games and shared what we are most thankful for. It was a great reminder of all that God has done for us.
God is good and there are so many things to be thankful for. I am still doing individual bible study with two women and tomorrow will start meeting with one of the youth. The kids and youth are practicing the Christmas play to present on the 23rd. In the next few weeks we have Christmas parties and breakfasts planed. May God use this time to change hearts as we reflect of the true meaning of this season.
Thank you as always for your prayers and words of encouragement. You are all blessings to me too!
Blessings,
