The Baptistry is Ready!
It was quite exciting to have the baptismal service in the main auditorium with so much more participation from the congregation. 50 people were baptized on the inaugral Sunday of our new baptistry. We are still working on changing rooms and other improvements, but are really glad to be able to have baptisms in the main auditorium now!

We are still working on changing rooms and other improvements, but are really glad to be able to have baptisms in the main auditorium now!
Here are the first couple of baptisms as well as a picture of our altar workers at invitation time and a young man receiving his BEAMS Bible. Bibles are given to converts on their first Sunday in church after they are baptized.
Soulwinning
Sembradoras
Friday, April 29, we returned to the same "colonia" we have been working through. We went across the bridge and found several homes with people who had not recently been visited. It seems anywhere you have a large church with many soulwinners you will often get a response to the effect that they know all about your church and what you are going to say. Several had heard of the church but had not been personally invited. We continue to have dozens of visitors every Sunday; it is almost impossible for me to know if any of them are the people we invite on Fridays.
Eleven ladies in Jenny's Friday group went soulwinning; the five in our van saw four saved, with eleven total for our efforts. The total saved from all the ladies' soulwinning groups this week was 33. Over 275 souls prayed with a soulwinner this week outside of church, according to the Sunday night count from men's, women's, and youth soulwinning, as well as those saved on Bus Routes. As you can see above, 50 of these were baptized.
Friday, May 6, we continued in the neighborhood from previous weeks. Eight ladies in our group went forth to share the gospel and saw six souls saved. Side note: It was really, really hot today!

Weather
el clima
It has been in the 80's and 90's here for quite some time, except for a little period of rain which put us in the 70's for a few days.
During the night it gets into the 60's and I have turned off the AC a few times. (but not many!)

El Idioma
I continue to work through Rosetta Stone and to study with Jessica. This week I learned there are two forms of the state of being verbs. One form means "always is" like, "She is my sister." The other means "is right now, but may change later" like, "She is at Wal-Mart."
This new knowledge made me even more aware of the impact and importance of statements in the Bible, especially the passages having to do with God as "The Great I Am." He is now, and will continue being "The Great I Am." So many verses teach us of Who and What God is, and Who He is to and for us.

I have been diligently working toward completion of my fourth title, Things I Learned From My Parents. I feel certain
that at least a few of you reading my blog know my Dad (or knew my Mom). Some of you were our family, or close family friends, who went through the struggles of Mom's cancer right along with us; and then, helped us pick up our pieces and learn to go on without her, taking with us the lessons she lived before us. My Dad was, and still is, a rock of consistency throughout all of life's bumps and curves.
I hope to have this selection ready and uploaded to Amazon by July 1, 2016. If you are interested in pre-ordering (which would be a blessing to me and also save you the postage) please email or private message me.
