Hello, this has been an awesome week here for us. We have seen 5 people give their lives to Christ this week, 3 young children and 2 men. The power of prayer and God opening the hearts of the people is so awesome. There are days when we feel like we don't do much, where maybe we are just there to encourage the people in church, visit with them and just talk, and then there are times when we get to see some of the fruits of why we are here. Whatever we do, we strive to do it in the way Jesus would want us to. This weekend we are sponsoring a youth conference here in Dr. Arroyo, and there are almost 100 youth and their leaders here. They are on fire for Jesus, and there are some here also that don't have that relationship, so we are praying to fan into flame the love of Jesus into each and every one of the youth. Our kids are loving it here, the music and the atmosphere of teens being on fire for Christ. After this weekend we only have one more week of summer groups coming from America, we spend one week packing and debriefing, saying goodbyes to people we have grown to love and appreciate and head back to Texas about the 10th of August. We have also been graciously loaned a minivan to use for us to drive back to Indiana with. We are so greatful, and have been at times frustrated and worried, but God has always provided for us, we just need to always remember this. We will return home, and get back in touch with our families and friends, and spend a few months in Indiana before returning back to Mexico. Lord willing we will be training under an awesome couple in Mexico for about 6 months, until we are more fluent and understand the culture more, and how to be the most effective in reaching the people. We are so excited and can't wait to return back "home" again. We thank you for being so faithful in your prayers for us, we know that without your prayers this would not be happening. We would not be here reaching out to the lost and working to make a difference in people's lives. May God bless all of you as he has our family. See you all soon, In Christ's service, Eastons
