Well things have been moving muy rapido around here these days, and God continues to bless us with great opportunities to live and serve for His kingdom. Last week, I was able to join a group from Lewisburg and Cookeville for a great week in Colonet.
This team was very active all week and just to sum up a few highlights: They hosted their first medical clinic and treated over 400 patients. They tested vision and provided many with their first pair of glasses, gave physical therapy care to many aching joints from extremely strenuous jobs in the fields, treated lots of infections, provided hundreds of vitamins, and pulled over 130 teeth. The construction team built a new outdoor patio at the church, a new house for a church family, repaired a roof for sister Norma (who was also baptized on Sunday!), and put up a new gate at the church. Also teams painted a new church sign, repainted the preacher's house, made lots of home visits (during which a 15 year old girl received her first dress), held a 2 night VBS and cornhole tournament, and shared more hugs and love with this community than can be recalled!!
We are so thankful for Antonio and Dulce and their leadership in this community and allowing this week to happen. They had many friends and relatives come in town for the week to help with cooking, translating, teeth pulling and so much more! It was so special seeing these bonds form and seeing others experience Jesus' love in a new culture for the first time. Gloria a Dios!!
I am currently on a youth group trip from Mayfair Church of Christ in Huntsville. We are having a great week in San Quintin! Thanks for all the prayers! Stories to come soon!
