Hello all,
We wanted to send out a quick update regarding what is going on here in our city.
We have been enjoying our house and neighborhood and have met several neighbors. Each of them has been very nice and helpful and one family has already invited us into their house which was quite a surprise since we have only been here a couple of weeks.
Please pray- that our relationships here in our neighborhood continue to grow.
We would like to ask you to especially be praying for our neighbors who invited us into their home. We just found out that his mother, who is 90, is very ill and both of them are traveling to D.F. (Mexico City) right now to see her.
Please pray- that God would show us how to minister to them in a way that reflects Him to them.
I (Mike) have been able to meet several men from around the area and will soon be spending time with them. They have all been gracious and have invited me into their homes.

Please pray- for opportunities to share Jesus with them.
Praise- Since our crate will soon be here it will be like having an early Christmas as we unpack things we haven't seen in two years as well as things we have forgotten that we own!
Praise- We recently had a family write us who received our card from our sending agency. They have been praying for us everyday for the last ___(?) months. It is an awesome feeling to know that people who do not know us, have been praying for us daily. It is amazing to be able to catch glimpses of how God is mobilizing His army.
Praise- Thank you Mambrino Baptist Church. You are a blessing to us.
Praise- Thank you Grace Community Church for the birthday video wishes and song to Tess. She smiled all the way through it!
Thank all of you for your prayer support!!
Praise- I wanted to share a story that I heard from a fellow m. He told me that a pastor from a church in Texas recently loaded down both his pick up truck and a trailer with boxes of Bibles and drove them across the border. Soon after entering Mexico, one of the cartels pulled him over and told him they were going to confiscate (a nice way of saying steal) his truck and trailer. The pastor said that they couldn't take his truck and trailer because they did not belong to him. He told them who they really belonged to... God.
A long story short, the cartel man told the pastor to go on to where ever he was going (which is unheard of) because he “respected” God and “feared” him.
This story reminded me of Brother Andrew in his book “God’s Smuggler” where God blinded the eyes of the Communist police so that they were not able to see the bibles that he was smuggling; bibles that eventually revealed the Truth to countless people in communist countries.
Several hours later, God’s Word arrived in Mexico City and is now being distributed among people who do not know Him. May the people who receive these Bibles come to know our Lord and Savior through this small miracle.

To have an idea regarding the culture here I am going to link to a post that some fellow m's posted on their blog who live a few hours away. Though there are some cultural differences between our city and their city, most are on the nose. HERE
