We have guests!

Our first guests arrived in Tenancingo today! Yes, Matthew's parents arrived to spend 2+ weeks with us. We had Rebeca's 5th year birthday party in Mexico City today and then made the two hour drive to Tenancingo. It's nice to share our home with our loved ones and we look forward to explore some of Mexico with them.

In terms of ministry, the Lord has been drawing us much closer to a neighbor couple who have been through some difficulties relationally and just two weeks ago experienced the tragedy of two deaths in the family. A sister in law and small child died in a car accident. The brother and our neighbors' teenage daughter, who was with them, survived with hardly any injuries. We have had some good opportunities for conversation with R. (the widower). He is a baker by trade and he even offered to decorate a Birthday cake for Rebeca last Monday. Pray the Lord continues to show Himself real to them through our testimony.

My Father's House - we have a VBS planned for late July and early August to be held in five locations in Tenancingo and two other towns. There are a few Mexicans who are helping us lead and coordinate everything and we expect between 20 and 30 people all in all who will somehow be involved. One big prayer request is for finances. Our total budget is just under $3,000. We have more info available to share if anyone is interested in helping with some of these expenses. In all, we're projecting 1500+ kids (counting by day and adding them all together, so there will be repeats). If you think of it, it costs less than $2 per child per day.

Thanks for reading, we'll try to post more frequently.
