Hello everyone!

Life here in Mexico is treating me well. The weather is finally cooling down and the mosquitos have become scarce! Around the house I have been cooking quite a bit. I think I'm going to be the best at making bread. I am also working on a computer bag. Its nice to have time to relax and read or sew :).

On Friday last week there was an annual celebration of the aniversary of a church. Lots of people showed up. There was music, testimonies, a message and our youth group performed a drama about choosing God over the devil. When the message was over the pastor invited people to accept Christ, a few teens in our youth group made that life changing choice! I also had the chance to talk to one of the girls in the group during the event and she wants to learn more about being a christian before she accepts the Lord. Her willingness and desire to learn about the word of God was encouraging. I am going to try and help her get into God's word and deside to make the committment to accept Jesus.

Last weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving at the deaf school in Los Mochis. It was awesome being able to fellowship with other American missionaries here. Not to mention the food was great! Keala, Jessee, Jerimias, Andrew, Evie and I stayed at the school Saturday night to Monday afternoon. On Sunday we went to the church and a market where people were selling handmade things. It was super fun! On Monday we helped around the school with odd jobs that needed to be done. The kids were sweet and I had fun at the school.

I asked you to pray that we would be able to have relationships with the young ladies here and as you can see a little from what I shared, God has helped that happen. There are a few girls that I have become close to and I really hope to be able to do that with many more! Hopefully we will get a girls group together and grow closer to eachother and most importantly God.

Please continue to pray for the young ladies here to know Christ. Also keep praying for our trip down south in January.

I hope you are enjoying my blogs and the aren't too terribly boring!

Dios le Bendiga (God bless you),
