The Heat Is On

Ok.... Its the middle of March, its starting to get warm here!! Laugh, go ahead, laugh what did we expect? Our cold Indiana blood is thinning out quickly and we are actually enjoying the sun EVERYDAY and the warmth everyday. Kids don't know how we are going to make it in an Indiana weather when we return!!!! Last week we spent 4 days in a row with 100 degree temperatures without electric!! That was roughing it!! God is preparing us for our outreach that we leave for in two short weeks! We are learning things so fast here, and time is flying by. All of us are doing so much better on our Spanish and are enjoying talking and sharing with the people. Today Jenna and Tammy went out visiting in the village with the other women, and prayed with them. We welcomed a new believer into God's kingdom today, and that was awesome!! God had prepared her heart already and she was so ready to accept Jesus. The boys spent the day getting the church put back together after the wedding that was here yesterday. We are absolutely loving it here, and want to stay down here. We almost feel guilty because we are loving it so much, everyday just focusing on what God has for us, digging deeper into His word and preparing our hearts to minister to the people around here. There is so much of a need here, you can just at times feel satan working here, and we pray and there is an immediate difference. We know that The Gospel needs to be spread around here, and Lord willing there will be many more opportunities to do this. We thank all of our friends and family who are praying for us, we feel it and know how good God is. There have been times when we get discouraged, but God ALWAYS lifts us back up. We just keep our eyes on Jesus every moment of every day, walking by faith!!! God gave this verse to me last night thru a sister in Christ. Exodus 34:10 I hereby make a covenant. Before all people I will perform marvels , such as have not been performed in all the earth or in any nation; and all the people among whom you live shall see the work of the Lord; for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you. This is so true in our lives, and God is faithful to His Word!! Love you all, Eastons

Drama Time

Hello, all! Can't believe it is March already. Our time here is flying by. We have started doing dramas for local churches and we were all demons except for Matt who was Jesus. It was a powerful drama and we hope to keep learning new ones to share with the people. Last weekend we went to a village that did not have a church in it, we prayed and walked around and made ourselves known there. We talked with some people and in 2 weeks are returning for a youth convention and hopefully teach the people about Jesus. They were warm and welcomed us back to return, so that was a blessing. The kids are still doing good. They are practicing their soccer right now, we seem to always attract crowds after church and play soccer games. Dayspring seems to always get beat!! So, they decided to practice every afternoon and hopefully win a game! Matt's dad came out of heart surgery great, and is home now recovering. That was such an answered prayer for us. We thank you for all your prayers for him. This last week we have been learning more on relationships, and this week we are studying some of the church doctrine of other beliefs so we can know how to encounter them with authority in God's Word. There have been times that God has blessed us with His love and grace, and there are some times that it vis hard to die to ourselves and let God take control of us and everything that we are. That is why we are here though, to die to ourselves and to be all that He wants us to become. Then and only then can He use us to bring the glory and honor to Him.

Last week we indulged ourselves in some American food, first time since down here! We had a real pizza with sausage, mushrooms and pepperoni on it. WOW The Mexicans were laughing at our family as we devoured it in less then 5 minutes!!! It was worth the laughs though!! Well keep in touch and thank you for your prayers. We know God has called us here, and we are so thankful for this opportunity to dig deeper into God's Word, to shine the light of Christ in the dark areas that need His light!! God Bless you!! P.S. The pictures are of us before we did the drama, and Caleb after a long day playing right before service started.
