La Presa, Ignite and Brasil

Hey all, thanks for your continued love and support. I can't believe how quickly my time here is coming to an end. On Sunday I had the chance to go to Puebla and visit my old church and hang out with some good friends which was really refreshing and just nice to catch up. I really miss those guys a lot. On Saturday I took my team to a retirement home outside the city and we sang some songs we had prepared, shared a message and a testimony and then just spent time with the older folks there getting to know them and just showing them that we care. It was neat to see their faces light up and hear the same story about climbing the volcano in Puebla about 6 times in a row from the same guy, but I could tell they appreciated our visit. This coming week is about to be crazy for me as I will also be a leader for the 10 day program of LAM called ignite. I will be pulling double duty as a leader for both programs and will be very busy with the group of 20 something high school students. I'm not really sure what to be expect, but it will be interesting. We will be working with one of the churches that I have already been working with during the summer. The church is called Dios es Amor (God is love) and I would ask for prayer for the church and the group coming down that God would guide their steps and use this time to be of a big impact in their lives and also in the lives of the Mexican people they will be working with. On Sunday I will be going up to La Presa (my first home in Mexico, where I was my first summer her) to celebrate the grand opening of their new church building. I'm really excited for them and its crazy to see how far they've come from that distant dream of a new church building three years ago when I was working there. We are performing a skit called Masks which I think is really powerful and I hope will be of benefit to the congregation and the hopefully many visitors there. I have been in contact with Brasil and it seems I will probably be going, but due to Brasilian immigration laws probably only for 6 months instead of the year I was hoping for. I will keep you all updated. Much love and God bless.
