A week off

How fast a week goes by! We've been enjoying our time together and resting a little too. Christmas morning started early with the pitter patter of tiny feet at 6am! We had a lovely day and thoroughly enjoyed the company of our missionary friends and one of the Mexican pastors as well.

Please pray this week for the new breakfast club that will be starting on Saturday. It is about 2 hours drive south of here and Andrew and I are hoping to go along. The folks are expecting about 70 kids and it is an incredibly poor area with loads of potential for evangelism programs. We have now had a 2 week break from Mex-i-Kids at La Loma and will be organising a meeting with the leaders before re-starting. We would appreciate your prayers for wisdom and direction as we plan the way ahead. We would love to see the number of kids growing but we also need to see more adults from the church getting involved.

It is likely that work will re-commence in the Drop-In Centre on Wednesday. It will start with a meeting to assess the progress until now and plan and make changes for the next few months. Please keep praying also that the major re-modelling work will be done soon. Unfortunately it wasn't completed (or even started) by Christmas and Andrew will be chasing up the engineer this week.

We were delighted to meet some of our neighbours with young kids yesterday at a piñata party held at a home on our street. Tabitha was a little scared to start with but was soon enjoying her first chance to hit the piñata. Pray for our neighbours and for development of good relationships for sharing the gospel. We have some lovely neighbours who are very friendly and aways offering to help in whatever way they can. One little girl on the street is exactly one month older than Tabitha and already they like to play together.

We hope you had a lovely Christmas and would like to wish you a very blessed and joyful New Year. We have begun to think about our time at home and while it will be short we will hopefully be in your area at least, if not in your church. When we have our deputation schedule organised we will post it on the blog. We are so looking forward to catching up with everyone and thanking you personally for the impact your support is making here.
