Wow another month gone...even though it has seemed to pass slowly due to the cold, it actually passed by fast. The ministry has been a bit slow as well. We still are driving two hours south to attend and encourage a new start in Minas. I've posted some stuff on them in some earlier post. They are doing well and Walter definately has a vision for his church. As we continue to build relationships with our friends we are finding oportunities to share one on one. We are looking at investigating some other areas of work in towns near by. Along with Minas, we are traveling every two weeks to a small town 1.5 to 2 hours west of here. There are three believers there and we have had two worship services with them.
I am still teaching English classes on Thursdays with anywhere to 14 to 20 kids.
Our Saturday youth nights has come to a halt. With the kids going off to school and others participating in sporting events Garret has been the only one available. Please pray for direction in that area.
As we look to September, it looks to be busy. We are preparing for the "Mi Esperanza". (My Hope) This is a mass Billy Graham event. It is in short, a 3 day event that will be broad casted over the television. It is reported that they have had many decisions in other South American countries. All the churches are looking forward to this event.
The kids are doing well. Both got started with their home schooling at the beginning of the month. Garrett is using the same system North Star Academy. CoraBeth is using something new. It is all on DVDs. It is like she is sitting in the class. She seems to like it so far. Only time will tell.
Teresa is managing all the homeschooling stuff. Working with their homework and administrating their test and cracking the whip when needed. She is doing a great job just taking care of us daily. That is a major ministry task in its self. I am thankful every day even though I probably don't show it enough. She is also taking care of herself quit well as well. She has been going to an aerobic classes everyday of the week. Making friends along the way.
Thanks you for all your prayers....
The kids are counting down the days till stateside...till next month keep dropping by, I try to post updates every so often.
