Merry Christmas

-

Dear people,

Thank you for your continuous prayers and for keeping up with the latest news. I have not been writing much lately, mostly because these past few weeks, life has been exceedingly busy for me. There have been many things going on! I didn’t even get to talk about Thanksgiving, we had an amazing meal at home and gave thanks, it was really a beautiful time with the family and a few guests we invited. It is always a wonderful time to think about all the miracles and blessings God has given us throughout the year. I think the most wonderful blessing I could ever think of is my family. And I’m sure there must be another million things I am thankful for. Anyway, On Saturday I went on a trip to YOSPI, AMEALCO. Some church members from San Luis Potosi took some gifts for the children of the church in Yospi. Brother Jim took us in his Jeep along with Brian who is in Mexico taking spanish. Mary organized the trip and my aunt Neomi came with us too. Yesterday night we went to an awesome Christmas presentation at my aunt’s church. Their Choir sang Christmas Carols and also played a drama which was really funny but carried an important message.

My mom is still in the States. She went for a while to Wheaton, IL. To visit my brother Sam but got back to Texas on Saturday morning, safe thank God. She bought a mobile home for my Dad, so he doesn’t have to pay a rent. Mom says she’s planning on coming back next week. So that will give us time to prepare a surprise party… although we are usually the surprised ones, since she could be here any day and without previously letting us know.

As some of you already know, I have been trying to finish up high school which I hope will be very soon. Please pray for my plans for College and for me to be able to follow God’s leading. Keep in touch during these festive days… to let me know how things are going and what God is doing in your lives.

Blessings in Jesus name… and Remember that JESUS is the REASON for the SEASON. Because of his penetrating light, we are alive… so don’t hide that light, rather, let it shine!

Without Grumbling

     It is a troubling realization when we finally see that our deepest desires aren't always pure and our intentions aren't always the best. It is often too easy to sink in to the ways of the world. Why? Because we live in it and its currents tend to tug at our faith. It is so difficult for me to admit how imperfect I am. I like to think I can do anything, though in reality, I know I am utterly powerless. It's only human nature, I suppose, but it serves me nothing to pretend like I know everything.      All this to say that this spring semester has left me utterly tired and worn out. I have studied and worked my energy out and toward the last couple of weeks before finals, my personal devotions that I've always been so fond of, diminished quickly. I became tired and at times, hopelessly unwilling to spend time in the Word and in prayer. Part of me felt angry toward myself about it, but the other part remained foolishly apathetic. I didn't know what to do, so I 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

Culiacan, first week

This past week in Culiacan has been a great blessing. The first two days we spent a whole lot traveling to be able to get to a camp and that was exhausting! Then on Wednesday I was able to speak to several girls and pray for the people. It was a nice time in the Lord. God blessed the people and the team also. On thursday I stayed behind to pray and God really just used me and all the other 4 who stayed. He spoke to us through verses and visions. The great thing is that While I was reading in Exodus I think, about how God promises to send his angle before us, when the teams got back they told us they had seen a cloud in shape of an angel and they took a picture but whoever took it did not want to let me download it... but if I can get her to let me, I will next week. Then on Friday, two teams got together, mine and another and we had already gotten into the camp, but after a while, the owner arrived and kicked us out. So we left as quickly as we could so we could get started on another
