From Puebla from Kim

We thought it was time for Kim (me) to take a turn at a blog update. So here goes!

We have been so blessed to have incredible opportunities here in Mexico. We thank all of you that support us by prayer, finances, thoughts and concerns, from the bottom of our heart. We feel so privileged to be here.

Yesterday we met with the new director of FEB International here in beautiful downtown Puebla. We had a delightful Mexican comida meal together in an authentic Mexican restaurant and it is nothing like Taco Bell!!! Dan was a great encouragement to us.

We spent a delightful few hours showing Dan around the downtown of Puebla. You might recall that the first time we came to Mexico we lived in Puebla for 3 ½ months and got to know the city with our language guides from the Spanish school we attended. We love the “centro” of Puebla. The city is 475 years old and so very enchanting!

As we stood at entrance to the “gold” chapel where the ceiling and all walls are overlaid in gold, the beauty took my breath away! It is very sobering to ponder the spiritual condition of the people’s hearts. Do they have a relationship with our Saviour? They are very spiritual people, but are they trusting in their traditions for their salvation?

We are so grateful for those we meet along the way that are a blessing and an encouragement. There is a house here in Los Heroes, Puebla, which missionaries have prepared for visitors to stay in. The house is lovely and it is such a blessing to have a place to retreat to after busy days of visiting and meeting with dear friends. We appreciate the way the missionary team has made us feel so welcome.

Would you pray for Gary this week as he prepares to preach this Sunday, Dec 7 in Spanish? He will get help with his preparations, but needs our prayers! We both covet your prayers as we continue to work hard on learning this beautiful language. We need well tuned ears and well oiled tongues!

Many blessings to you and your families. Thank you to those that email us and let us know your needs and prayer requests. We are glad to partner with you in these matters of prayer. We love to hear from you.
