Update

Hey all!! God has been so great. Somehow, God provided for 4 children from the kids club my aunt has every saturday, to go to camp this week. They will be back this Friday! I am so happy.... they were really excited too. None of them are Christian but they were all willing to go and were open to something new which is a big plus for us. I will post some pictures later when they come back and I can tell you all about the camp and how they liked it! Please pray for them this week... pray that God will minister to them and that they may be able to understand that salvation is the most important part of out lives as humans and that we cannot be complete without our creator. Pray that they also have a good time and make new friends. Well, this was a just a quick update, if anyone still reads this blog!! I encourage you to visit my blog at least every two weeks... I will make an extra effort to update it more often! I bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and pray that h

MISSIONARY TRIP: Yospi

Our trip to Yospi was rich in blessings and work. A brother from an English-speaking church, Jim Bloomstrand, drove Mary, my aunt, and me to Yospi. We stayed there 3 days along with a group from San Luis Potosí that joined us a day later. We departed on the 2nd of July and arrived at Yospi in mid-afternoon. The whole 2-hour trip there was rainy and humid. My aunt, Mary, had made some wooden furniture we were going to take to Yospi for the family we were going to stay with.

The children were all so overwhelmed to watch us put it together and they were very happy to have us there too. Mary and I stayed with brother Francisco's family, in his home. He has 8 eight children, 5 girls and 3 boys. Mary had also taken some spare wood to see if we could make a last minute piece of furniture... we ended up making a little restroom... well, brother Julio di

MISSIONS

Today is my lil brother's birthday... but we celebrated his party on saturday! I will post some pictures later because this computer won't allow me to. And my cousin, a little girl, was born today at 1:00 am. Tomorrow my aunt Mary and I are leaving for Yospi, a place up in the mountains, deep in the heart of Queretaro where the Ottomi Indians live... They are very poor people but very hospitable. My aunt lived amongst them for 2 and a half years. She was there as a missionary. She had to live like them and dress like them in order for the people to accept her. Since then they have come to know God better and there are now several Christians there and a church is up and running. God has blessed them so much and we still keep in touch with them. This week we want to go to encourage them to keep pressing on in the things of the Lord. And encourage them not to give up... because it is very difficult for them. Most of the people do not have a means of transportation although there i
