What a God!

We stand amazed!  What a wonderful and gracious God we serve.  Last Wednesday, we had 29 folks in the service, an increase of 10 from the previous Sunday!  Glory!  I preached on "Jesus's Prayer Requests" and we all had a marvelous time.

All last week, my stomach was bothering me and finally the worst came late on Thursday night.  After that came to pass, I got some kind of cold/flu starting on Friday, then just getting worse and worse until Sunday.

Sunday was a great day, as I was reminded that God is strongest when we are weakest.  We had such a great service.  It was our "Fiesta Navideña" and we went all out.  A grand total of 42 people came, and 2 adults got saved!  There were numerous first time adult and child visitors.  We gave away the Christmas Shoe Boxes of Joy, ate tamales and cake, and really had a great time.

My body finally had had enough by Sunday night.  The fever rose real fast and high and kept me awake for half of the night.  It finally broke and I was able to sleep, and now I'm too foolish to stay home and rest.

We plan on mostly just taking it easy this week.  We've been working so hard since we got here and we're finally about caught up.  We have soul-winning/visitation on Tuesday, services on Wednesday, and Noche Buena (Christmas Eve, which in Mexico is more important than Christmas) on Friday.  Back to soul-winning on Saturday and starting all over on Sunday.

My family is so happy to be in Mexico.  We need more support and it's going to be the hardest ever to leave if we have to again.  We lack about $500 to be at our goal--it isn't much but getting support during this recession isn't easy, especially moreso to raise it for Mexico.

Along that lines, let me say I'm glad God isn't sending us to a country in the 10/40 window that already had their chance to be saved and rejected it, or some godless European nation that has forgotten The Lord.  There is so much fruit in Mexico!

Praise God for the opportunity to be here!
