AUGUST UPDATE

Summer is winding down, (although you wouldn’t know it with this heat)!  We have no a.c. here in Tijuana, so thank Jesus next time you turn your a.c. on!! 🙂

We had a fabulous Vacation Bible School this year. Our very own teachers planned the whole week, and many adults and youth from the churches helped out. Our theme this year was “Vida Salvaje” (Jungle life), and there was a different Bible verse each day that the kids memorized.   Liliana made the Bible stories come to life with all of awesome scenery and sound effects.  Once again, God provided!!  A big thanks to those who were able to give to help purchase the snacks and all the materials…for this week.

The youth of CC Pedregales did a fantastic job during this week. They did all of the decorating, assisted during the week with the kids, and cleaned up at the end of each day!  They love serving the Lord, and I thank God for them.

In June, we recognized all of the graduates–from Elementary, Jr. High, and High School.  Pastor Chris, along with others, laid hands on them praying for their spiritual life as they start new schools, and that Jesus would continue to grow them and shine his love through them to others.  My desire is to start a tradition next year with a special dinner for all the graduates, Lord willing. I had a wonderful  vacation visiting family and friends. It was a time of rest, which I thoroughly enjoyed! While on vacation, I attended the fundraiser banquet with Saving Grace. My mom and some friends joined me, and what a beautiful night! I even won a tax consult in the raffle.  It was great to see many other missionaries, and hear a little bit of what the Lord is doing.
