Jerod's Class

If you look really hard you can see part of Jerod sitting at a table at the front of the line. He has really impressed us with his ability to teach children. He has come up with a system of letting them dance for the first 5 minutes to get their energy out. Which has been a problem some days. He has also come up with prizes if they can recite a Bible verse or if they behave while he is sharing the story for that night. So, this is a picture of him giving out prizes for reciting the Bible verse for the night. All of this sounds really great, but remember he is doing this in Spanish! He does a really great job, last night he had 14 kids in his class! ;o)

We had 31!

Hi all, okay so it wasn't 37 like last week, but we did have 31! That was exciting. What is neat is that each week we have someone new come. Last night we had 2 newcomers. One of them is a lady who we have been praying for since we arrived here. She has always been one of those people I had to pray for often because she challenges my niceness. ;o) If you know what I mean?!?! So, last night she came, sat and listened to the whole story. She was incredibly nice to everyone, (answer to prayer) and even said she would come back next week. She is 82 and very set in her ways, so we are praying God will move in her life. Please pray that with us!

We actually felt like last night was a turning point night for our group. They opened up to eachother, shared many requests in Purepecha, (some were even crying) and even talked about giving an offering each week. That was a shock to Greg and I since they aren't real giving people. (plus it was ALL their idea) They all agreed that next week they would start that action. So, we are well on our way to being a true church! PTL! I will try and upload more photos today. Hope you all have a great Tuesday! Love you!
