Birthday party and going to Puebla

Tonight we went to Kristina’s 16th birthday party. We had a good time hanging out with our missionary friends. It was a surprise party, and we really surprised her.

Tomorrow, we are going to Puebla. We’ve never been there, so we are looking forward to it. I will be preaching on Sunday at First Baptist Puebla, so please pray for me. Thanks.

Bowling at Perinorte

Yesterday was the second installment of “Class in Starbucks.” Rigo, Israel, Huberto, and I went to Starbucks at 9 AM and stayed until about 11:15 for two classes in MJ 140. It was a good discussion on camps and how to put one together. I am encouraging them to try to visit M-Fuge this summer in Guadalajara to check out a quality camp.

Group at bowling alleyLast night was bowling night with the youth group from Dios Es Amor. It went pretty well. There were 11 of us in total. Like everything here, it neither started nor ended on time. Overall, though, I think that the experience was good. We got to hang out and talk to each other in a very informal setting. Paty came, which was a good thing. She’s the one who’s brother died a few weeks ago. I had fun, but I’m very tired. This has been a crazy week with seminary, convention meetings, Bible study on Friday night, class on Saturday morning, bowling on Saturday night, and church and youth group today. Tomorrow I have a faculty meeting at the seminary and am planning on taking the afternoon off for Valentine’s Day. Whew! We’ve been busy.

Bible study on Bible study

MCCA group on couchWe had less than usual at MCCA Bible study tonight because the juniors and seniors were at a Velentine’s banquet they planned for the parents this week. It was still fun, though. The Bible study was on how to study the Bible, and it turned into good discussion about the always difficult questions of “If people don’t hear about Jesus, will they go to heaven?” We had a great time with them as usual.

Pregnant Janell

This is Janell six months pregnant. We hadn’t taken any pictures of her yet, and we figured that her mother and sisters would love to see her pregnant. So here she is.

Super Bowl XXXIX party

Israel and Luis Last night we had about 20 people at our house from our church for a “Super Bowl party.” Funny thing is that Mexicans don’t really care about the Super Bowl. Since we didn’t really care about it either this year, it was pretty fun. We had a great time with them, and we got to hang out with many of the young people from the church. The youth group has been growing a lot in the last few weeks, and we have had many new people coming. This party gave us the opportunity to get to know the new ones and the old ones better. This Saturday, we’re going bowling to see if we can’t develop stronger bonds as a group.
