Our Adventures!

First of all, we are in a safe place! We have been asked quite a few times, and we are in a good area. We are moved in our house now, and there are some pictures here of our house. We had the kids pick some paint out and decorate their rooms. The house fits us perfectly, and we are so thankful. This is such a blessing for us to have this place. Today as we were just finishing school, we had a dust tornado come right down the street into and into our house, so we are busy trying to "clean up" before we get more dust! We are enjoying our dog Brownie, who is our guard dog also. This week we have been making curtains- Matt- to cover all the windows. Yesterday, Justin preached his first message in Spanish, and he did very well. He talked a little about what our purpose in life is, and it is to bring pleasure to God, and to love others.
Jenna, Tammy, Corey and Justin are also helping to teach English classes with Spanish students once a week. Each one of us are working with the same people, hoping to build relationships. This is a great time for us to practice with our Spanish, as we are always trying to improve it. We are still "patiently" waiting on securing our building for the youth center. Sometimes we just forget that this is not America, and things go so much slower, and we are still trying to remember this. We hope to get it started within the next few weeks, and are praying that maybe this is just a time that God is preparing for us to be more ready. We asked the lady to come down on the rent a little, and that is what is holding it up a little. We are taking a step of faith on this building, trusting that God will supply all our needs, but also feel that this vision is from God, and when God calls, God supplies.
We thank you guys for keeping up with us, and we are also on Facebook. We thank you for your prayers, we can feel them and know God is here with us. Pray for us to prepared for whatever God has in store for us- like the youth center- or whatever else He brings upon us. We love you guys, and thank God with all our hearts for each and everyone of you!! God Bless

Our new vison

The first picture is Caleb working on homework with the neighbor boy, and the other is Jenna helping out in the English class. This week has been a fast week for us. We went back to Texas to retrieve a load of plywood for Matt to make some shelves, and we brought our bikes and rest of our stuff in with us. We have been praying and seeking God's will for what He would have us to do, and we feel confident on what He has in store. We will be searching for a little building this weekend for us to start a youth group. God has really laid on our hearts this past few weeks about the youth here. There are hardly any youth in this church here in Dr. Arroyo, and that is the heart and future here in Mexico. We are planning on starting youth night on Saturday nights, with the first week showing a Christian based movie, and from there having some game nights, and slowly turning it into small groups for us to work more one on one with the youth. We will be using flyers, and door to door to get the word out, as soon as we secure the location. Please pray for God to open hearts, we know He has laid out this plan, we are just praying we follow it in the ways He would have us do it. We will also visit with some families starting next week that have fallen away from the church this past few months, and new families also. Pray for our Spanish, and for us to always show the love of Christ in all we do, say and act!!
