So it's been the proverbial "long time" without an update--I guess it happens to everyone that blogs. I promised myself I wouldn't do that when I first started, but here I am blogging about my lack of blogging.
It's been pretty busy, though. We have been in great meetings since we left Mexico on February 25th. We had a very difficult leaving but did it because we wanted to get finished up and get back as soon as possible. We've had meetings and travelled in Amarillo, TX, Clarendon, TX, Altus, OK, Mustang, OK, and Borger, TX. We are praying that at least 3 of these churches will begin financially supporting us.
After all of those meetings, we visited a great Hispanic church in OKC, OK and then travelled to where we are now, Brandon, FL. It was a long but uneventful drive.
The best things so far have been a few salvation decisions we've been a part of. We've also enlisted a great deal of prayer support and met a bunch of great people. We announced a need for a 15 passenger van in a church in OK and they gave us one of theirs! We only wanted them to pray with us about it--I thought we would have to pray and raise the $$, but Tabernacle Baptist in Altus gave us one. We weren't over the excitement of all that yet, and a man from the same church volunteered a reupholster a seat in the van, paint the exterior, put our church name on it, AND drive it to the border for us! We couldn't believe it...what a great God, church, and people of God. Now, we're praying for the $1500 to import it permanently to Mexico and put license plates on it.
We'll be around here in Brandon, FL until next Tuesday and then we're off to a great church in Beckley, WV. From there we have meetings in OH, AL, and GA. We really hope to be back in Mexico by May--and see where The Lord leads from there. I don't have peace exactly yet nor wisdom from God--we're still praying what HE wants.
