And Heaven Celebrated

Sunday the 26th was a great day here in Sucre. We had lots of visitors for seveces and nine kids in the kid's class. But besides having a full house, Lety and Jamil wanted to dedicated their daughter to God and Carla was baptized!!! We all have a new sister in Christ and as Ivan said, "If we celebrate this much, how much more does God and His angels celebrate".

Please pray for Carla and her husband and family. This time is very exciting for a new Christian, but Satan will try everything to attack and take her back. Monday the team, Carla and her husband, Javier, got together to have dinner and to encourage Carla in her new walk with God. Also continue to pray for Lety and Jamil as they continue to move closer to God and changing their lives to honor Him.

As I mentioned, the Contact Center was pretty packed Sunday. We have been searching for another place to rent for a church building, but have had no luck so far. We really need a bigger place to worship on Sundays, so please really pray that we find one soon.

Poor Zion had a pretty rough week. First he had a head first fall and got a goose egg on his head and a bloody nose which later swelled a little and had a bruise across. Then about four days later scratched his face. All in all he's doing good, but walking does have it's drawbacks.

Happy Birthday Erik

On Saturday the 18th Erik celebrated his birthday. We had a party at the contact center and a lot of people the the Reyes' have meet here in Sucre came. Being a Mexican, we served tacos and even rented a special... barbecue, I guess would be the closest word, to cook the meet on. Jenny had found a group of Mariachi singers to come and sing as a surprise.

Sunday, August 5th

We had about 15 visiters on Sunday the 5th. One Bolivian family who works at the children's home in Ecuador, a member from the Santa Cruz church and the rest from Sucre. After church we all went out to eat to get to know each other better.
