Morelia!


Just the other day a few of us went out to a city called Morelia to spend time with the church out there. We went out to a georgeous lake out in the country called Humecuaro. We spent the day out there on Saturday having a good time grilling, playing games, and getting to know the church out there. It was a beautiful place that reminded me a lot of Oklahoma. That night a team-mate, Princeton, and I stayed at the missionaries house to attend service with them the following day. The service was great and I really feel and know that this trip was very well spent and that we touched some lives out there. It is a very nice city and I do wish to one-day visit God's Church in Morelia again one day.

Thanksgiving


Great day of Thanksgiving we celebrity down here! We each made a dish and brought it to our Coordinator, Omar's, house where we all came and shared and gave thanks to God. We not only shared the meal and the time but we also wrote Psalms of thanks to God and we read them to each other. It was great to here the heart of each person express how thankful they are toward God and the things, people, experiences, and of course, Jesus, that He has shared with us as we are equally blessed to follow His plan for our lives. Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for YOU!

¡Órale! Six months on the field!

Blessed be the Father whoa carries us to where we need to be from where we are! I think it is aweome that just six months ago we arrived in México not knowing a thing of Spanish or much of what México was like. But glory be to God who gives all good gifts that He has blessed us with our time here. Learning and growing more and more, and putting ourselves in His hands to walk where we can't see and serve those we meet. Learning. That's what we've been doing. I have been personally affected so much here, in this short amount of time, by the culture and the love that the Church has here. God's people are good! Though not all of it has been fun we have been working hard.
Thank you for sharing this blessing with me! I see grace and thanks in the Heart of the Lion.

Mexico Missionary Retreat


Hey! We've been working,praying,and playing hard here in México. Recently we went to the México Missionary's Retreat down on the beaches of beautiful Ixtapa. It was wonderful to meet an get to know all the missionaries that came, old and new. Some that have been in México for several years and some that have hear as long as we have. It was great and very encouraging just to be around a bunch of other people who had the same focus in this country as us, that being, expanding Christ's eternal kingdom. Some great people and willing hearts working for the Lord all over the world. Pray that God opens doors and equips us to walk through them. Thank you! Serving Him In the Heart of the Lion.
