Sunday Morning

Well, it's time to go to Mexico. Everyone's excited and we're ready to go. I don't know if we'll be able to update this while we're down there, but check periodically and we may just have some pictures and some updates. For those who may not be entirely sure why we're going, it's so that we can build a house for someone. We'll meet the family when we get there. It will be a wood frame house from what I understand. We are also asking for people to pray for us. There are three requests that come to mind for the week. First, it's going to be a tough week physically for some of us. We'll be getting up around 4 am (at least that's what Josh says) and working for a good part of the day. Pray that we would be able to endure the week physically. Second, it's going to be a tough week spiritually for all of us. I personally have already felt discouraged for no reason, and I'm sure it's going to get more intense throughout the week. The demonic will be at work among us, but greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world! Please pray that the Spirit would protect us and allow us to grow. Third, there is a significant amount of travel, and we will be in a foreign country. Please pray for general safety in travel and in our time in Mexico. Above all though, pray that God's name would be glorified through whatever means necessary and pray that we would be willing to serve in whatever means necessary to accomplish this goal - relying on the power of the Spirit who now dwells in us. Thank you for your willingness to support us and participate with us!
