February 20-21, was Carnival Vacation here. It is traditional to throw water on random, unsuspecting people, during these days. Our family doesn't participate in that, but we do enjoy our own "Water Fight." These first 2 pictures are from our big Carnival Water Fight.
March 18th, in the afternoon, we had a bridal shower for Mercedes. Here are some pictures from it.
Mercedes and her sister
Wilda introducing the first game. They were divided in to 2 teams. Each team was given a small cake, an egg, a little bit of white sugar, a little bit of powdered sugar, a lemon, some sprinkles, food coloring, a bowl, a fork and little wooden spatula. They had to make some frosting, and decorate their cake...
Libertad was a "pro"...She had her egg white wiped up in no time! :-)
Diana, Carla and Libertad with their cake
Consuelo, Giomara, and Jessenia with their cake
Mercedes, right before refreshments. We had a great turn out and a good time together. Please pray for Mercedes and Maximo as they start their Christian Home.
Since Cristobal has taken over organizing and preparing the music for Sunday morning, we have had "special music" for the offering time, every Sunday. This is a group that sang this morning and did a great job!
Tony, with Luis, Melaniea and Javier this morning. The 3 of them received Study Bibles for completing the 12 classes that make up the first part of our Leadership Training Program.
Tony with the two children that were baptized this morning. This is Nicolas and Carla.
We are so excited to see what God is doing here! Thank you so much for your prayers for our family and for the ministry here in Manta. This week we are gearing up for VBS. We would appreciate your prayers for the teachers and workers as they prepare. Also pray that we would see boys and girls accept Christ as their Savior. We will be starting Wednesday evening and going through Sunday morning.
Blessings to each of you, as you serve the Lord where he has placed you this week!
Joy
