Amazing Grace

Buenos Dias,
Heres another report for ya'll. Sorry the pictures havent been uploading properly here....guess its just something you'll have to look forward to for sunday!
Heres the down low on our day today:
645- Breakfast
715- Deep sea fishing (almost everyone caught a fish, Carlie caught a small shark)
Afternoon- Painted and prayed blessings over Junior High School
630- Crate church service (Its called crate church because its made of crates...)

Ya, it was just another awesome day, it seems we get surprised each time with an even better day. Today we had the opportunity to take it easy in the morning, and then in the afternoon we went hard and painted the junior high and prayed for it...and then the church service which we did in the evening at the crate church. Tonight Alicia and Carlie shared their testimonies, we sang spanish and english songs, performed two skits, and Freddy preached. After was a time of prayer. The service was just so awesome, the church there blesses us with prayer and we blessed them with prayer. It was a very fulfilling time. We came home and had a praise and worship time and now we are all (but me) sleeping peacefully. The plan tomorrow morning at 515 to wake up and climb the twin peaks (the big mountain in the area, it has two peaks....hence the name), so were actually just climbing one peak, in case you were wondering, watch the sunrise and be home for 800 for breakfast. We had a really awesome day and could really feel your prayers today, and witnessed them being answered. It has really felt like we have been a blessing to the Mexicans here. Only one more day (of scheduled ministry in Mexico) left. Pray that we would go hard to the end, and for safety in travel on the way home. See you all soon,
Andy

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour!
We serve a mighty God who works beyond our imagination. We had the opportunity again tonight to join fellow believers in Christ at a local church in the community in which we are staying. It is such a blessing to see our extended family worshipping God with an overwhelming love for Him. Our cultures may be very different but our love is truly one in the Spirit.
Thank you for your continued prayers, they are being answered in more ways than you know. We will have MUCH to tell. Blessings from San Carlos, Mexico! Gloria a Dios!
PS Hi my beloved, I will be home soon! <><

Hi Everyone! We've been having a great time here in Mexico. Getting to know each other better, working, and having a lot of fun in it all. This afternoon we went to a junior high school just down the street to do some painting. It was kind of fun, actually, especially when we talked to the Mom of one of the students there and learned what it really meant to them. This evening we went to our third church service here, which was pretty amazing. God is so good!

Hello Canada!!! Wow has Mexico been amazing. The heat has been hot, but the wind, shade, and water cool. The people have been open even though I can't personally talk to most of them. Thank God for Fred. He has been a huge asset to our team as a translator. Today as Steph said, we went to the local Junior High School and painted it, and prayed over it. Again, as Steph said, we also went to the local church this evening and it was absolutely incredible. Going there reinforced what I had read in a book once. God doesn't really care about the building that you worship in. He cares about the worshipping. That church consists of about 20 people, and wooden pallets and cardboard for a building, but they are on FIRE for God. It made me really excited. Tomorrow we will finish working with the pastor that you so faithfully helped support!!! I'm looking pretty forward to that. We have grown into a small family as we bond together, and I look forward to more opportunities to continue bonding. Your prayers HAVE been answered, but keep praying. We do have sooo much to tell.
PS: Mom, Dad, I love you and I miss you lotses and lotses. I will be home Sunday.
