Hey all! Sorry it is so late getting this thing updated, but things are rolling and we are so very busy! Everyone misses their families, and we've been praying for ya'll every chance we get. Continue to pray for us.We have two days left, but those days are going to be the best.

Tuesday:
We're at bible club right now and the amount of kids has almost doubled! We had 19 kids show up today. Prayer and faithfulness definitely work. To see how excited these kids are to have people pay attention to them and to just love on them. It's incredible. Tonio didn't show up today, but that's okay, because we are still praying for him.
Even though we are on a vacant lot, we wouldn't want to be anywhere else at this moment.

Today:
This morning at VBS was fun. It seemed as though we didn't have as many kids, but I honestly can't keep track of all the kids. I do know that the kids have our hearts. When they call you by your name and attempt to talk to you, it's simply amazing.
Bible Club went well today. We had 21 kids show up, and many parents. Six children raised their hands to accept Christ, and the mission teams are going to follow up tomorrow and talk with them. Bro. Kevin just told me there were 160 children at VBS this morning. We are definitely running out of room, and crafts!! God is blessing Dios Es Amor in more ways than one.

Luke is not feeling well. Please pray for healing on his body. He has been in bed most of the day, and continues to stay there for fear of getting the rest of us sick. I know he wants to be up and moving, but right now he needs to rest.
Continue to pray for all the children that they will make a lasting decision.
Pray for the missionaries down here that continue this year round, when we are only down here for a week.
Pray for Pablo, Miriam, and all the family at Dios Es Amor. They need our prayers and our love. Even though you as a member are in Alabama, they still feel your love.

Bro. Kevin wants to share now..
Bro. Kevin:

We were a little disappointed That Tonio didn't show up at the back yard Bible club in Guadalupe yesterday or today. Continue to pray for him. I hope he comes tomorrow night. We are sharing the gospel with everyone at the party through drama, music, and Kevin Elworth's message. Javier continues to talk with Jim everyday. Jim has put many doubts in his mind about his beliefs in Jehovah Witness doctrine. Pray that he will come to know the truth. Last night we were reminded that we are in a spiritual war. Local witches left a curse on our door through leaving dirty mop water at our doorstep. Jim told me that this is common for the church. They once cursed his car, but it cranked the next morning. Their curse obviously didn't work. We had more kids today than the other days and six salvations at Guadalupe. Bring it on witches! "Greater is he that is in us, than he that is in the world." Our group prayed over pastor Pablo and his family tonight. It was a powerful time of prayer. The power of God was mighty and powerful in the sanctuary tonight. There was not a dry eye in the place. Pablo is such a great guy and he is constantly telling me how much he appreciates Valley Creek Baptist Church and our support for his church and family.
Today we drove around the neighborhood where we pick up 90% of the children for VBS at Dios Es Amor. It is such a sad place. The poverty is overwhelming. These children are in need of a touch from Jesus Christ and we are providing that touch. There are many more adults attending the VBS from this area as well. That is great! Thank you church family for your love and support. We will be home soon. Dios Le Bendiga!

Terri, your husband wants you to know he loves you and that he has eaten many a mexican meal, and has converted.

We all love you, and miss you. I will try and update tomorrow, but it will be difficult between VBS and setting up for the block party tomorrow night.

Dios Le Bendiga!
Buenos Noches!
