My intention has not been to write these updates in the mornings concerning our previous day, but that is how it has turned out due to our daily schedule.
Yesterday morning began with Aubrey heading off to go to school with the Bult’s youngest daughter Lili. It was good for Aubrey to see how school is being done here much in the same way she experiences it in the States. The rest of us prepared for a Pastors and Christian Leaders breakfast that is held once a quarter at the seminary. After some singing and announcements, we enjoyed a traditional Mexican breakfast of refried beans and salsa over chips and sweetbread on the side. It was delicious as always. I then had the honor of speaking to these Mexican pastors and leaders about the ordinary nature of ministry; that being faithful is what we are called to, and that this doesn’t always look very spectacular.
After a short break, we started our teaching schedule. Greg started yesterday and did a great job opening up the class on Angelology. This is done in five 50 minute blocks each day, and it is tiring. And it is more tiring for Kevin who will do translating for both Greg and me throughout the week.
During the class time and once school was over, Amber, Karis, Aubrey, Andrea, and Lili went to New Beginnings Girl’s Home and met and served the girls there. They had fun getting to know the girls and doing activities with them and just loving them.
We then met up and had dinner at one of mine and Amber’s favorite restaurants here in Puebla, El Balcon. We enjoyed traditional Mexican dishes, and Amber was even able to order a special dish, not on the menu, mollete.
All in all, it was a really good day! We are trusting the Lord for another good day today. Thanks for your prayers!
