Hey everybody, hope you are all doing well and your family is healthy. We are over 2/3 of the way done with this trip and I wanted to give you just a brief update of what the Lord is doing here. Despite having a smaller group of students learning guitar I have been having 4 kids show up consistently, their eagerness is inspiring and their devotion to practice shows up from week to week on my 11:00 Wednesday appointment. Leading worship has been going really well at the Women's Rehab Center, we introduced a new song called Nuestro Dios (Our God by Chris Tomlin), I love seeing the women worship and sing out their praise to the Lord even when it's not on key or they don't clap on rhythm, I think that their worship is really beautiful. At Rincon the kids are still full of energy but they are becoming more receptive to the Bible stories we tell them. I love Rincon days (Fridays) because I get to play soccer with them to wear them out so they sit still during the Bible story. About once or twice a month we drive or ride a bus up to Mazatlan to spend some time with the youth from Espiritu y Verdad and attend the 11:00 Sunday service. I really enjoy the fellowship with the youth most of our conversations center around worship music or bands because that's what I love and know. I personally have really enjoyed living with Alfonzo and Erika Martinez, the missionaries here in Escuinapa, they are my parents for these past 3 months, I know I will miss them greatly. Alfonzo has poured a lot into me and I know much of what he's taught me I will take into my future as a student, husband, and father. So yeah, that's just a snapshot of what's been happening in my life personally and what God has been doing in the hearts of the youth and kids in Mexico! Thanks again for your continued prayer support, I hope that when I return, to be able to connect with each of you face to face. I can't wait to share the testimonies of God's faithfulness. God bless you!
