Piggy-backed blessings

Have you ever had a piggy-backed blessing?  We just heard we are going to get one!  Our daughter Stephany has been praying and saving to come home for Christmas this year. Time was running out and she didn't have enough saved. A very dear and loving mentor-friend heard of her situation and took it upon himself to make sure she made it home! Not only that, (this is where the piggy-back comes in) he also thought of our son Michael and he is coming home too!! Michael wasn't even considering coming this year but God had other plans for our family!! I have to say, this is the biggest and best Christmas present I will have received in my whole life!! I'm so excited and can't wait!!  It will be so awesome to wake up Christmas morning and have them back home in their own beds!

As of November 17, the ceiling tile is finished in the auditorium!!  We did it in a couple of Saturdays and a few hours here and there.  We want to send out a thank you to the Las Americas Baptist Church for their offering which allowed us to complete this project.

The Choir is still diligently practicing and are praying that God will use the songs we are preparing to announce the Good News to those who attend our service and in the other opportunities that we have to present publicly.

Please keep us in your prayers for all of the activities and projects that we have for the end of the year and for camp season that is coming up in January.  All For The Glory of Our Savior!!

And November starts with a flood...

Sorry that I don't have any pictures, but yes, the camp flooded again. This time it was bad.  Water got into every building.  There was at least a meter of water in the kitchen.  So any construction was put to a halt and they had to get the pressure sprayers out.  After two days of washing everything down they were able to clean the mess up.  But thanks to the flood, a load of sand that had been delivered to work on the project was washed away.  Hey!! That sounds like a good illustration to prove what Jesus said about the foolish man!

But, construction is still going on at the church.  Last weekend some men from the church pulled together and made some headway on the installation of the ceiling tile.  They are planning to work this weekend also and are hoping to get almost all of it completed.

This past Saturday we also had a teen meeting and played volleyball for the first time. (on our own property) It was a lot of fun but the mosquitoes just about ate us alive even though we bathed in Off!

Our Christmas Choir is still practicing getting ready for the Cantata.  Please pray that God will give us opportunities in the community to present this work!

We are also praying that Stephany will get to come home for Christmas.  I'm asking for everyone to pray that God will provide so she can make that happen. (a prayer dear to a mother's heart!)
