Ministry News

We are getting ready to start our return to the U.S. on October 23rd.  We will be driving up to San Antonio, TX on the first day, then onward East towards Atlanta to visit some family there and North Carolina, before we head up to Maryland where we have our first meeting on the first Sunday in November.  We are looking forward to the trip, but it’s going to be a long one as we spend 50+ hours in the car.  We still have a few dates open, but our schedule will be very full.  We will be in the U.S. until mid-February when we return to Texcoco.

Things at church are going well.  Our attendance has been in the mid 40’s consistently for a couple of months now.  We have new people who are excited about serving and have invited friends to church and helped us to start new Bible studies.

As for music in the church, we don't have anyone who can play any instruments, so a few weeks ago the church hired a man to give guitar lessons at the church.  We have 4 people who are taking the lessons with the goal of eventually playing in our services.

On Saturday, we will be having an evangelistic youth Sports Marathon.  We will have tournaments in basketball, track, and indoor soccer.  As of now, we are expecting about 25 youth to attend.  Two brothers are very excited and have invited about 10 other guys to come.  Most other people have invited at least one person.

Family News

As many of you already know, Abigail Marie was born on September 6th at 10:40 p.m.  She weighed 6.5 pounds, and was 19 ½ inches long.  The boys love their baby sister.  Josh thinks she is very cute, but Caleb is more fun to play with.  She is healthy and seems to be growing.  We now just need to teach her to sleep through the night.

On another note, Susan’s cousin’s husband, Brian Blattel, has been in the hospital for a week now.  The doctors are not sure what is wrong with him, but he is seriously ill, and in a lot of pain.  We appreciate your prayers for him.

Mexico News

The protests over the Presidential elections are over, and Felipe Calderón will be the new President of Mexico when he is inaugurated next month.  He was the best candidate, and we are glad that he won.

Thank you so much for your prayer and financial support!  You are very important to the ministry in Mexico.
