Visiting Corpus Christi

It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I am sitting at the computer at Brother Jim Garcia's house in Corpus Christi.

Yesterday I caught a ride up to Piedras with Sergio, the "profe" from the school in town and walked across the bridge to Eagle Pass, where I stayed at the First Baptist Church for the night.

I walked to the Eagle Pass Library and checked my email, and then while I was walking, I came across a little shop near the tortilla factory on Pierce where Michelle makes and sells her piñatas. They are amazing, and she only charges $20. for the big ones that are nearly 4 feet tall. The shop is called Mr. Funny and she lives in a house attached to the shop. She is a very gifted young lady.

This morning, Jim and Brenda picked me up at 7 and we had a wonderful breakfast at Skillet's.
I talked to Bill on the phone and on our way, we picked him up in Carrizo Springs. This afternoon he caught up on some much-needed rest. We had a wonderful meal of shrimp gumbo that Brenda made. She's an awesome cook, and we enjoyed the sweet fellowship with them today.

Here are a few pictures from this week and last week. Enjoy!

Tomorrow morning, I am sharing my testimony and about our ministry in Mexico at the Primera Iglesia Bautista, Corpus Christi. I am so glad Bill is with me and look forward to meeting new friends in the morning. What a privilege to be invited to come and share what God is doing in Tepeyac, and I pray God is glorified in what we share tomorrow.
