Thank you for praying...

Franklin has had a rough few weeks since Mary and I are away from home. We traveled to the states for Mary to look at colleges. We have looked at 2 so far and are enjoying traveling and seeing friends and just spending time together! It has been a memorable journey! Can't believe she will be 18 this Saturday!

Franklin has had a few issues this past week or so! He and James went to church 2 weeks ago Saturday night and the transmission went out on the truck while they were there, after church he got in to leave and it wouldn't go in gear! So it is in the shop on it's way to better, they are rebuilding the transmission! Then last weekend the water system started acting up, so he went and got a new pump and rearranging the tanks and redoing to system in hopes there will be a better supply for teams and for us as we work developing this camp center!

Thank you for praying because through all this GOD has been there HE hears your prayers for us and has been guiding us according to HIS will! You are a special part of our ministry and we could not be there without you praying for us and keeping us before the throne of GOD! Praying for JESUS to walk with you as you journey onward to meet HIM in the air! Let us pray for each other not faint by the way!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James

Hello to new beginnings!

Mary at our church this past weekend! She has a little adopted sister Gloriana! So she did a dance with banners with Gloriana and a friend Merlin. Our church has been a great start to the road of ministry for Mary! We have high hopes for her as any parent and wish her the very best as she embarks on a new journey today looking at colleges and seeking GODS hand in where/what she should study and how GOD will use her. Sunday as she said goodbye to her Friends and the church as a body prayed for her, it was wonderful to hear the nice things everyone said about Mary.Profecies abounded and all wished her well! One thing is to start well, but to finish well in each step of your life isn't always that easy!

 When we got here nearly 9 years ago Mary was 10 and did not speak spanish. We started going to our church in September 2004. In 2006 she started playing keyboard fulltime for every church service and missed only when we had to be in the states for a few weeks. Our pastor Olger and his wife Guiselle have adopted Mary as their daughter and she has spent many hours in their home and at church with them practicing and ministering in church services as well as special events. They knew Mary would be there and could count on her to play and sing. Praying that GOD will provide that person they need to continue this ministry,as Mary moves on.

Mary you have left big shoes to fill! May the LORD bless you and keep you in HIS care as you study and grow up. Remember to always put JESUS first in every decision, whether it is what you study, where you live, who you marry, or simply how you speak.
I am blessed to be your mom and will always love you!

Team 28 Fredonia Baptist Church

We took this picture at 3 am so some people were and little worse for the wear! The kids were very tired and everyone was ready to take off towards the airport! This team was a great blessing to us as has been every team, seems like when we least expect it GOD blesses us with an amazing team to encourage us to keep going! They were able to cook in the camp kitchen which was finished the first of this year. They stayed in the dorms inside the conference building and we added 2 bunks! We now have room to sleep 30 people, amazing! The men stayed downstairs where we lived before we built our home. The ladies did a 3 day bible school and Earnesteen and Rose cooked each meal, with help on pealing Potatoes, washing dishes & clean up etc! The oven was on almost the whole time they were here baking for the bible school and making cookies for break time etc! Thank you to each of you, this was a big challenge for each of us and we couldn't have planned better for it to go smoother! WOW! GOD IS GOOD!

Thank you for giving to the LORD, I am a life that was changed!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
