Meeting Neighbors

We´ve been here 5 days and so far we´ve met 3 of our neighbors. One family across the street has lots of farm equipment and Bill brings him coffee each morning. His name is Javier and his wife, Graciella, is one of the teachers at the school next door to their house. The woman on our west side is Christina. Her children and grandchildren live in the states and she visits them there. They will be here to see her for Christmas, she said.
On or east side, Luis just arrived a few months ago from Texas. He grew up there but is living here with his aunt and uncle now, working with the ranch and animals. We got to pray with Luis yesterday and know that God is going to do something in his life. He´s not happy here, and has a wife and son in the states.
Lots of people and lots of needs, but our first assignment has been to be a witness for Christ. We have invited lots of folks to church so we´ll see what fruit comes from those invites.
Bill goes to the fence where the kids come out for recess across the street and visits them each day with the dogs. They love our dogs and enjoy seeing Bill and talking about the pups.
We will update again when we can. God bless you and thank you again for your prayers for us.
Tonight is Bible Study at Lupita´s house. We look forward to the fellowship with the saints there.
Bendiciones, todos.
Love yáll!
Bill and Toni
