update

Hope everyone is having a good start to your week. We had a great day yesterday. There were 76, and 84 in Church. There were 3 first time adult visitors. Our children's classes are starting to build back up and we are happy about that.

Several people from our church have been going to the little village of La Travesia every Saturday. Last week there were 60 present and they were waiting for the group to arrive. It is such a blessing to see how the people from our church are growing and stepping out to serve.

Thank you for your prayers for our daughter Mandie. She is still on bedrest and at present that seems to be "indefinite". I know that she and Mike really appreciate your prayers for them and the baby, as do Tony and I.

This week we have a full house. Ashley is still here along with her boyfriend. They will both be returning to the states this week-end. Our youngest daughter Lexi arrived on Friday night and we are very happy to have her visiting for about 6 weeks. Then today, Matthew Blanton, who is like a nephew to us, came in for a few days. We became really close friends with the Blantons our first year in Ecuador and have remained very close over the years. They returned to minister in the US about 7 years ago. It is a blessing to have Matthew visiting for a few days.

I pray that you have a great week serving the Lord!
Joy
