Weekly Report...who knows what number



Dusty boots and sun-bleached hair


*We have been able to talk to Bailey for the last couple of weeks, so her letters have become shorter, as she has run out of time to write...she also didn't send explanations for her pictures this week, so I'm going to put my own captions on.

Hola Todos!

This week was great! We had people come to church and people who are progressing well :) This week we had two people tell us that they wanted to be baptized and receive this new beginning that is only possible through Jesus Christ. One is a man named Julian who has some medical complications due to the fact that when he was 3 he got hit by a car, but he is awesome and wants to do all he can to improve and thank the Lord for the life that he has. Where many would be bitter for what they don't have, he tells us each visit that he is only thankful, and is thankful for every new day that God has given him in this life. 

P-day fun: companionship art project
We are also teaching a sister who when we started teaching her this week about the things we shouldn't eat/drink/do, instead of complaining about all the the things that are going to change, she ran to her kitchen to brings us the different types of tea that she had so she could throw away the types that were bad for her body. 

PANTS!! (She said it felt weird).

I learn so many things every week from these people, and am so eternally grateful for this time that I have here in Ciudad Juarez.

Love you all!
