October-November update

Myra left for the states in early November after a fun filled busy October.  School ended mid-October with three of our kids graduating from the 9th grade and one from the sixth grade.  Myra was unable to attend all of the graduations because she was preparing for her son Daniel’s graduation from elementary school.  We are all very proud of the new graduates and for all those who successfully completed the year.

We shut down the feeding program for the months of school vacation and gave out food twice a week with pastor Leonel sharing the word. The feeding program will begin again in mid – January when school resumes.

While Myra was gone the pastor continued with the preaching of the word on Sundays and during the week before the food give-away.  Gilma and another Sunday school teacher and mother, Andrea, also held a vacation Bible school.

Pre-natal vitamins were also given out to expectant mothers.

Please pray for Ernestina and her family. Because of a family despute, she will not be moving into the new house when its completed. She is now staying with her sister and her health is improving slowly. Please pray for resolution of the family problem, for her husband Mundo and his drinking problem, and that Aracely (11) will continue to study next year. She sucessfully finished the 1^st grade this year. The younger sister has not started school as yet.

                                          THE  LAND

We needed $10,000 to buy this piece of land for the comedor, church, multi-purpose library, Bible, computer, and English classes, medical and dental clinics. Pastor Leonel says he has a dream to have a seminary there also to teach and train pastors! So we believe God that this will come to pass. We now have $8,000.00 donated. Praise God!

The school shoes have been ordered and only $200 is due in January upon delivery

                                

                                           Vacation Bible School

In November Gilma and Andrea held a vacation Bible School. Valdermar, Yolanda, Eduar, and Iris were their assistants. They had Bibles stories, made Christmas decorations and played games. The kids had a ball.

                         

                           Food Giveaway 

Since school closed mid-October, Pastor Leonel shares the word twice a week and then food is given to take home. On different days we may give out beans, rice, corn, oil, soap, vegetables, oranges and salt.  A local church donated 10 large 24 box containers of cereal! When school opens in mid-January we will return to our midday three day hot meal schedule.
