Something interesting here in Mexico, is that instead of "Junior" a boy named after his dad is called "Pollo" like "Chickie" (think of Johnny in West Side Story).
So, this is Hmo. Ivan & Pollo.
In school, though, I call him Ivan.

La Noticia de la Iglesia
As we are preparing for our large annual conference everyone is busy, busy, busy. There are extra music practices, extra cleaning times, and extra work of all kinds! My help with this basically consists of watching the children of those who are doing the actual work ~~ aren't you glad to know that some things never change?
There will be many delegates here, including several who have graduated from our Bible Institute, and many other Pastors from Mexico and Central and South America. Also, my "home" Pastor, Daniel Parker, from Heritage Baptist Church in Hot Springs, Arkansas, will be attending.
Mrs. Carrie Suhl will be passing out Beams Bibles to many of these national pastors and missionarries during this week of training and encouragement. Many of our institute students and other young people (and myself) will be helping her count and box the Bibles that have been requested by these delegates, and fulfilled by many of you who give to the Beams ministries.

This Friday, I was partnered with Mrs. Carrie Suhl, who led two older men to the Lord. We passed out 12 tracts while inviting others to church. My neighbor Jessica was able to pray with a young man as he accepted Christ. When she took out her Bible, some of his friends passed by and made fun of him for listening to the church lady. He was a little hesitant then to stay with her, but she asked him if his so-called friends would be standing with him one day when he stood before the Lord, accountable for this decision. He stayed, listened attentively, and trusted Christ! PTL!

While still progressing through Rosetta Stone (almost completed the first disc), I am also memorizing the verses in the Romans Road. In addition, I am using the DuoLingo ap on my phone, which says I am 26% fluent in Spanish -- maybe there is hope!
Snow on the mountains!
It was 76* the next day, though.
