Greetings from Coahuila!
We pray this letter finds you encouraged and drawing closer
to the Savior each and every day.
As I write this, we are experiencing the hot July weather
typical in this part of Mexico and trying to keep cool is usually futile,
unless you want to stay in front of a fan or air conditioner. Those items are
somewhat rare in this part of the world so we are grateful we have both in our
home.
On the other hand, we are grateful for the breezes that we
get most days, and since the windmill is our only source of water supply, the
breeze does more than just cool us off. Washing dishes, clothes and ourselves
is difficult without water so we are more than blessed when the wind blows
here.
We recently had a visit from Susan Carver and enjoyed three
days with her here at our house. She plans to return with the group for the VBS
and we look forward to seeing everyone next week.
Enjoying my 60th Birthday with Susan Carver in Del Rio
going Last week, I attended three different graduations in our area schools. Here are some pictures from the events of last week. It was great fun and I love being a part of these families.
We were deeply saddened at the news of our dear friend,
Linda Burson, going on to glory, but know that God has prepared a place for her
and she’s in His loving arms along with her husband, Tim. We are so grateful
for the years we shared in prison ministry with this amazing couple, and we will
miss them both. We pray the Lord comforts their family and friends.
It has been a busy month already preparing for the group. I
am in Del Rio today to buy paint for the church and pick up the new outhouse we
ordered. These are important details for the little church in Tepeyac, and
everyone has been working hard to get the church ready.
Bill has returned to Texas to look for work, and had a bad
bout of food poisoning this weekend, putting him in the hospital for a little
over 24 hours. He drove home last night and is resting now. We appreciate your prayers for his complete recovery.
Yesterday was Election Day for the office of president of our
little municipality. Lots of campaigning and we are praying God anoints the man
who was elected to the position. May He make godly decisions as the Lord directs his
footsteps.
We thank you all for your interest in our blog, and
apologize for taking so long to get this posted. Hopefully, I will be able to
update it more often in the future.
Thank you for your prayers for us. We are so grateful for
the love you show us in comments, letters and prayerful support. May the Lord
be glorified in all we say and do.
In His loving embrace,
Toni and Bill
