“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14
Dearest Family and Friends,
December, 2017
I pray this le er finds you well and celebra ng as a family the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When I reflect on all that was accomplished by His birth more than 2,000 years ago I stand in awe. He came to reinstate our place with the Father, to free us from sin, heal the sick, give peace to the afflicted, take our load, give us hope, show us the way, intercede for us…and the list goes on and on. I am so grateful to have Christ in my life as my only and sufficient Savior. This is my prayer for my family, my neighborhood, and the world. That they would receive this free gi that is offered them and that there would be persons around them brave enough to share this message. My heart aches for those who do not have the solid founda on of Christ on which to stand in these troubled mes. We con nue to reach out to our neighbors with this message of hope. It is exci ng to see what God is doing there. We will have another “Fiesta Emanuel” in a couple of weeks to celebrate with the children and adults. In October we had twenty‐seven kids for the day and a group of helpers come to help us from Iglesia Poder y Victoria. Please pray with us that hearts would be opened, and lives would be forever changed. It has been three years since we went to Veracruz to see Juan’s father and family. We were able to purchase ckets back in March to go this Christmas and New Year’s. We are really looking forward to being together. Please pray that our travel would be blessed, and we would share the light of Christ in all that we do. My family was just together in November to celebrate my niece, Elizabeth’s wedding in Utah. She was transferred there this past summer. My mom con nues to have some serious health issues but thankfully was able to be at the wedding. Please keep her and my family in your prayers as we walk through this valley with her. Be blessed this Christmas season. We love and appreciate each of you and we are thankful for your prayer support and financial support. We could not do what we do without you on our team. This Christmas I celebrate 17 years in Ensenada. Some of you have been with me this whole journey. ¡Muchas Gracias!
