Mother's Day

We had enjoyed celebrating the joy of Mother's day. We had a great service together. The children made cards and give chocolates to our mothers. We are bless by the ladies from Grace Baptist Church in Red Oak, Iowa. They made lovely bags that each mother received and love. We played games and passed out the gifts. Thank you, God for all our wonderful mothers.

EASTER

We had a great Easter service. We put together a special service for the kids with a Easter egg hunt. We hid over a hundred eggs in the mango fields across from the church. The kids were excited for the fun. After lunch we gathered the kids and began the hunt. They flew like hawks over the ground looking for an egg. We brought the kids back to the church to open the eggs and have special music. The kids were happy to join in an american tradition.
The Easter egg hunt was a useful tool. Two new people came to our service. We are happy to have them join us.

WAIT A MINUTE !

My last post I told you about a house which is great for us  and the church. We were get things ready and making changes to the house to move in soon. We now find out that the owner is still trying to sale the house. The owner are in need of money. There has been two different people looking at the house that want to buy.
We have stopped everything. We ask that you pray for us. We would really like to buy the house but we need ten thousand dollars for the down payment. Pray that God will show us the right direction to go from here. We know that God will supply our need. Thanks you for your prayers.
