They were just moments away from playing in a band for the first time, and they had worked hard at it.
As the drummer took his seat, the bass player his strings, the guitar and piano were grasped by their apprehensive players. From our vantage point, we could see how excitement and fear took over. The band started playing... and what a joy to see they're faces! It didn't sound like the best band I've heard, but they weren't too shabby either!
"Allright, then we got it?! See you next class!"
Glad and encouraged we walked away that day, and we're now in our last couple of classes, but it has been a good run with about 40 to 45 students.
This has most probably been the best group of students that we have had in years. Our class on music and worship leading started in August and will end the last week of November. Our class includes traveling 4 hours every other weekend between Acapulco (where we live) and Petatlan.
We have had a blast and a lot of work since getting married four months ago. June 25th was such a special day for us, with our family and friends from near and far. We thank those we love for all their support and care.
Jonas and I have enjoyed being able to serve God and the church together. We're involved in Agua Viva and Centro Cristiano Guerrero. Both of us leading worship, teaching music class, some preaching, discipleship and the usual odds and ends of ministry. We thank our family and churches for standing with us in this transition time.
As you pray, we ask:
-Protection in these dangerous times in Mexico
-Safe travels
A special thank you to our support group.
