More answered prayer!!

Well, it’s been an exhausting week, but we have so much to be thankful for!!

The Lord has answered our prayers with a house in La Cruz!! Two bedrooms, bath, large living room and a large eat-in kitchen. Covered parking for the truck and a small patio with a coconut palm! What a blessing! We will move in slowly over the next couple of weeks, buying the furniture and appliances we’ll need.

We also had a great team meeting with Darwin and Mary Ann and then spent the afternoon and evening exploring La Cruz, Ceuta and Tayoltita. We also met Pastor Jose and brother Ismael, from the churches in La Cruz and Ceuta. We also spent a quick minute at the beach at Ceuta. Then we went to church in Ceuta, and then visited with a family in the camp there. They are farm laborers from the southern part of Mexico who come here for the farm work. They live in huge camps, with tiny little houses. They prepared a lovely meal for us and we had a wonderful visit. We are looking forward to getting back there on Sunday with Darwin.

We also took our first bus ride! We went downtown to Pastor Guadalupe and Emelia’s for lunch on Thursday! Much less stressful than trying to drive and park down there! We had a fine meal and wonderful visit, even with our little bit of Spanish. Carmen was so sweet too, she had the pastor meet us at the bus stop and she also called the house to make sure we made it there and then asked the pastor to walk us back to the bus to make sure we got the right one! There are dozens, so she wanted to be sure we made it home!

Please pray for Jorge and Emiliano, they are both resisting getting to know the Lord, even though their wives have both come to Christ. When we told the wives that we’d ask you all to pray they were so touched!

Please also continue to pray for our language and culture learning. It’s coming along, but we have such a long way to go.

We’ll be taking our day off on Saturday to go to La Cruz and thoroughly explore our new town!! Darwin, Mary Ann and Grace will come with us and we are so looking forward to it! Lunch at the Chinese restaurant! God is good and we are thankful to all of you for your prayers and support!
