Part 1: What ever happened to...?

Part 2: Things we're thankful for

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO...

 
The Ocaña family: Remember our neighbors, the Ocanas, the ones we shared our water with for 10 months? You saw a photo of them in our August letter. We’re really excited because they’ve come to church with us, TWICE.
The Ocana Family
Mr Ocaña asked,"How often can we come back?" Of course I said, "As often as you like."
For Mexican independence day They invited us to their family’s farm. We met the grandparents, great-grandparents, and all the aunts, uncles and cousins. From what we could tell the only churches out there are Catholic (the traditional sort that discourages Bible reading and argue over which statue of the Virgin Mary is more powerful) and they don’t even have priests except on special occasions. We’re thrilled thinking that God might not only bring the Ocaña family to know Him personally, but He just might use them to reach their whole village too!
Luís: He is the wealthy man who became a Christian a year ago. You might remember him as the young single father who had taken his troubled daughter to a psychic healer for brain surgery. We don’t have a way to contact him now, but we pray that God continues to draw him closer to Himself. The last thing we heard some friends of his who are Christians had taken him under wing and were inviting him to their church. I wish I could give you more, but that’s all we have.
 

THINGS WE’RE THANKFUL FOR:

CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA

You know those Christmas gifts you need in the "not too expensive yet meaningful" range… check out the book, 31 Days of Praise: Enjoying God Anew by Ruth Myers. We thoroughly enjoy reading through the brief, encouraging prayers together every morning. In fact, we’re on our third time through.
