Tuesday, Nov 26

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Col. 3:17)

Tuesday has been a day of ups and downs, but the not-so-positive moments are simply glitches that should never overshadow the positive moments. From what I gather, there was such a high expectation from Armando that his every step, every move, every word is being scrutinized and basically they expected perfection...so he received some criticism and pessimism, but I am proud of how he handled himself. I guess all those times he's been yelled at by angry clients has been good practice! :-) Nonetheless, there is still much to be thankful for.

This day was dedicated to the men of the Acambaro church. Armando conducted a small group type men's meeting (without the pastor so the men would be more open to sharing) where he shared his testimony, talked about addictions, salvation, convictions, and fruits of the spirit. From that meeting, he helped them establish a men's group. However, the pastor seemed a little pessimistic about it since they have established things like that before and it always died off. SO, something else to pray about...that it would be different this time, that God would make it flourish, and in turn reach others in the community.

Please remember to pray for the Wednesday travel as they visit a couple of churches in more dangerous parts of Mexico. Of course, you'll hear about the outcome of Wednesday's events on tomorrow's update. Till then, thank you to all of our prayer warriors out there who are continually praying for this mission! God hears and he ALWAYS answers!
