On the road again...

This weekend we had three services; one in a home and two church services. There were around 9 decisions for Christ. One of the decisions was the grandmother of Rosalba's sister-in-law. They were so excited to see her make a decision for Christ. Rosalba's mom is very excited that some of her neighbors came to her house to see the drawings. She has been a great witness for over 33 years in her neighborhood. Some of her neighbors are looking for her for help with their problems. Since several of her neighbors made decisions for the Lord, she is now excited about beginning new discipleship classes for the new Christians.

Final plans are being made to return to Guadalajara in June with the motorcycle group. We are anticipating great things that the Lord will do. We also have numerous invitations to return for drawings.

January Chalk Art School

Chalk art school was good as usual.  I learned and practiced new drawings.  It sure was cold though.  I also got to draw at a couple of churches while in Gladewater. 

Matamoros services on 2-14-10

We were invited to draw for a church in Matamoros.  They were having special services because of Valentine's day. The special music was by Oscar Jesus who sings full time in the States and in Mexico.

We were glad to have friends from FBC Harlingen go with us, Matt and Ava.  It was a good worship service. 

long bridge wait

Went to visit a pastor in Mexico yesterday.  I waited in the bridge return line for 1 hour & 40 minutes because of Presidents Day.
