"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23
Happy fall to all! We have been busy with family and ministry. At the end of August Alicia's mom came down for a visit and we celebrated our baby in Guadalajara with my family. We feel so blessed by all who have showered us with their love.
Ministry is getting busier as the days go by. We are discipling several people, visiting new families and getting to know more people in San Nicolas. The kids' club is growing and we have several faithful kids each week. Our numbers are between 12 and 16 each week. The kids LOVE to memorize scripture and help their friends learn too. Last week almost all the kids memorized the verse. God is good and we can see Him working in the lives of the people of San Nicolas.
As Christmas approaches we have started practicing for the Christmas program. The kids are every excited and are quickly learning their parts. They will present the nativity story on December 18 and 19th for all of their families and church members. Please pray for this event, that many will come and many will be saved.
One of the families from kids' club has allowed us to come and visit them in their home. I shared the gospel with the grandmother who is in her final days. She is very hard of hearing so I basically shouted the good news at her. We had a nice time talking about her life with her and her daughter. The kids are very faithful and soak in everything at kids' club. The parents don't come to church but are warming up to us. Please pray for this dear family that soon they will all come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Their kids are in the photo below, Fernando and Daniela.
The church in San Nicolas has been meeting for 5 months now. We have faithful people who join us every Sunday.
Time is quickly approaching as we near the date to meet our little baby. My wife is doing great and so is our little one. November 27th will be here before we know it. We are both excited and nervous but every so grateful to God for this blessing.
