Moving Update

It has been a busy summer with packing up the house, deciding what to keep and what to take with us. My house in Mexico was a good size..big enough to host @ 15 people comfortably when having mission trip groups. I have had as many as 24 at one time! With my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson living with me, we have double the amount of things we really need when downsizing. It has been a lot of work, but we are now living over the border and adjusting very well. I do believe it will be better for my health living in an insulated house! We are setting up house and have been enjoying being close to the grocery store, our mail, and even my doctor. I have had one doctor appointment so far and one trip to the emergency room, and it was so nice not to have to cross the border to do so! It has been no trouble at all to cross the border for church services. I have been back and forth with visiting my church people and attending services. 

I have a new mailing address which is posted on my 'Contact Info' page. 

The work in Tierra Nueva is doing well. The men in training are growing and learning more and more. A few weeks ago, I had each man get up to preach a passage that I picked out and had them preach it 'on the spot'. I challenged them from the front pew on their message. It took them by surprise, but I'm wanting them to be ready..in season and out of season. 


My son-in-law, John, is doing well over at the Ortega church. He has a faithful group of people coming and helping in the services. We just celebrated the Quinceanera of Rosa, who has been in our church since she was a baby. In Mexico, turning 15 years old is a big deal, and there was a special service for her. 

I have been doing some traveling and preaching this fall. I don't travel as well as I used to, but it sure is great to visit faithful supporting churches! What a blessing it has been through the years to have their love, prayers and support. It is an honor to be with these precious people in their churches and be able to thank them in person. 

I would ask that you would pray for a young man in our church named Antonio. I have high hopes for this young man for going in the ministry and right now he is really struggling with some things. He is near and dear to my heart and I ask that you keep him in mind, on your heart, and in your prayers.
