Summer fun!

 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." 

2 Timothy 3:16-17


The summer was fast and fun! For three weeks in July we had a daily program for the kids. "Walk through the word" We learned all about the story of the Bible and the kids memorized the books of the Bible in order. Many of the kids were new from the families that received food bags. We played games, sang songs, learned the story of the Bible, did crafts and memorized the books in order. It was a fun three weeks and the kids begged for more! It has been such a blessing to pour into their lives the past two years. I will miss them greatly. 


  

One Friday morning Karissa gathered several of the ladies from church to celebrate my upcoming wedding. It was a fun morning of games, words of advice, stories and yummy food. These ladies are very special to my heart and I am so thankful to have had them in my life these past 2 years. 

Other big news from these past few months is that Jorge has officially been accepted as a missionary with FIM!! After a week of distance learning and zoom calls we presented our future ministry to the board. (please let me know if you would like to see the video we made) It went really well and Jorge was accepted that afternoon. Praise the Lord!! Thank you for all your prayers. We are so excited to see what God has in store for us in the future, thank your for your partnership with us in HIS ministry. 
One note of discouragement is that Jorge's appointment for the visa was cancelled because of COVID. We are still praying and talking with the visa office. We are hopeful that in March he can get his interview and then be accepted for the US visa. Please be praying with us. 

It is September and that means it is wedding month!! Exciting times to say the least!! I am currently in Puerto Vallarta continuing with ministry until the 11th. Jorge is back in Tequisquiapan, QuerĂ©taro preparing our future home (God blessed us with a house to rent). We understand that several of you would love to join us in person for the big day but can't for several reasons. We will be transmitting the service live on facebook or youtube, more information to follow. 25 days and counting!! 

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. God is so good and has blessed us so much with each and everyone of you! Praise His name! 

Blessings,
Alicia and Jorge
