Different Language, Same Lord

What a joy to be with the dear people again who worship at the DeHoyos' home! Greeting old friends in the traditional Mexican way--big hugs and ladies kissing each other's cheeks--is something I've looked forward to! Great to see Julia and Fernando, the godly couple that we were privileged to help a couple of years ago in the startup of their store and Alvira, the blind lady who never complains! She gave a testimony of gratitude for the Scripture on tape/CD that she has recently received. Lots of new faces, many people who have come to believe in Jesus Christ through the DeHoyos family's ministry, are now here, too! Mario and Jessica are one example. Jessica heard about Christ at a Bible Study that Cristina leads--she believed, then her husband (a former Catholic priest!), then her parents, and now this past week, her sister Bettina was saved! And Bettina and her husband Felix came to the service for the first time today! And so the church grows! Each time we come I'm a little more able to communicate, and this time I really enjoyed the fruit of my Spanish study, as I was able to actually have a conversation with Mario and Jessica, who I have been praying for ever since we first heard of them from Cristina. They are bright with joy and love as new believers in Christ! Praise the Lord!
