Karl's a comin'!

Hi friends! I know I have been bad and haven't posted in a week. I just feel like I run 100 miles an hour and then when I have time, getting on the computer is the last thing I want to do. But... I am here now and will give you brief updates on everything.

Adolfo was admitted into the hospital on Monday with some serious issues of an ignored enlarged prostate and that caused him many complications. Poor fellow has had a tough few weeks. However, he seems to be doing much better and the family now realizes how seriousily ill he was. Please keep praying for him as he will have to go back to the hospital in the future for some surgery, once he is stronger.

School is going well except that it wears me out! I don't know how teacher's do it! Teaching 3 different grades is tough; even though a lot of Jerod's is through DVD teachers. Anyway, we are doing well and are rejoicing over the growth of our group. It seems like each week we find someone elst that might be interested. Greg is spending a lot of time trying to make the visits he needs to make to welcome interested people to our group. We are planning a baptism in the future and we are hopeful that we will have many people  interested in taking this next step in their faith. Please pray they will step out of their comfort zones and follow Jesus' example.

Okay, now about hurricane Karl. Many of you may not know there is a hurricane coming and others may know and wonder where we are in Mexico. So, to answer both questions; there is a hurricane expected to hit the east coast of Mexico today. It is expected to be category 3 and will probably cause a lot of damage if it does what they say it will. We don't live near the east coast, so we will not be directly hit. We are in the middle of rainy season so we have a lot of rain everyday. However, with this hurricane coming we will probably receive a lot more. So.... we SHOULD be okay. We do have many friends who are on the east coast and this could hit them with a great force. This could be very devastating to many here in Mexico. Please pray for our friends and all those who live in the hurricane's path. The homes are not made to withstand high winds and because of that we are asking you all to pray that the hurricane takes a different course and doesn't cause the damage that they are expecting.

Love you all!! Missy
