We have really enjoyed having my parents here for a visit. They have a few days left and we are going to miss them! Today we took a drive around town and then went to eat down by the ocean. That was nice. After lunch we came back to the house and had cake and ice cream to celebrate my Dad's birthday. (we're a little early, but it was nice to be able to celebrate together! :-)
The special services we had last Friday and Saturday night were well attended. We 38 the first night and 27 the 2nd night. Everyone seemed to respond well the the messages both those nights and in the Sunday Service. Please be praying with us as people make commitments to give special offerings toward our building fund.
Sunday school went well. Both the classes were up and that was encouraging. There were 13 at Youth Group, Sunday evening. We have decided to switch it to Saturday afternoons and that will start this week. Please continue to pray for Luis and Melanie as that get more involved with this program. Luis will be leading the program this week.
Please pray for us as we travel to Guayaquil on Friday morning. My parents will be flying out Friday evening. Please pray that they have a safe trip back to the US and then that we have a safe trip back home to Manta, on Saturday.
News from our girls is all good. Mandie and Mike have started classes and things seem to be going well there. Ashley was able to get registered and will be staring classes next week. This week-end she will be in Kansas City. Sunday is her birthday. Lexi is doing well. She started classes yesterday and seems to have enjoyed most of what she has had so far. She will be going over to Kansas City to see Jonathan and be with Ashley for her birthday.
Thank you for your prayers for our family and for the ministry here in Manta.
Joy
