Judy who I work for in the Nut House and two of the Bible Institute students who help us !!So as you can see we have been busy serving! The incredible heat and humidity this past month from the hurricanes certainly took a toll on everyone's energy. The last few days have been much cooler and we are all getting a refreshing from the Lord. Try to visit and chat with old friends and new ones we have met this trip. We are known for wanting to hear peoples stories...how they came to be here and their spiritual journey. We have dear friends who will forever remain in our hearts. This town of Vincente Guerrero is a ripe harvest and there are many different ministries reaching out to the lost and hurting. Each one has a purpose in God's plan and we love sitting down with each one and hearing how miracles are happening and needs being met.  In our next blog we will share about the new adventure ahead of us on our journey and how it came about. Blessings to all and thank you again for your prayers and financial support we are so grateful.
