What's going on in:
San Diego
&
Aguascalientes
There is a lot going on and I want to keep you all informed with the highlights of each month. Thank you to all who pray for and support these ministries. We are able to bless so many people and we couldn't do it without you. To God be all the glory. Gracias amigos!
It's a short update for September but it was still full of many blessings!
Two kids, Evan and Gio, graduated from the Children's Ministry and moved up to the Youth Ministry. We went down to their classroom to pick them up and welcome them to the new program. I prayed over them and then we "anointed" them with silly string. It was a fun day and I am excited to see them grow in the Lord. I'm looking forward to teaching them lessons from the Bible!
We had another beach day for the youth ministry. They all unanimously wanted to go one last time while it was still summer weather. It felt nice to go during the heat wave! We barbequed hot dogs & hamburgers and just had a fun time being together. I'm glad they enjoy hanging out together outside of church.
I celebrated another year for both of my parents. My dad's birthday is September 17 and my mom's is September 27. We went out for a nice steak dinner and afterwards we came home and had cheesecake. I'm so grateful to have them in my life. God has blessed our family so much and I'm thankful that I get to see them so often.
I showed up at church on the last Sunday of the month to a nice surprise! Everything was decorated for my birthday. The actual day is October 1st but since I was going to be out of town they decided to do something special for me before I left. It was a very cool surprise and I felt very blessed!
And I flew back down to Mexico on Sept 29th. I plan on spending my birthday in Aguascalientes and visiting with a lot of the people that I have come to know and love over the years. I do miss living down there as a full time missionary, but I am grateful for the opportunity to still be able to go so often and stay involved with so many wonderful ministries.
