Hi all,

I think its been quite a while since I sent out an update.  Here's a run down of what the Lord has taken me through these past two months:

      Starting in June, I moved out of the big house, ran up to SanDiego for supplies, had the little old truck stolen, bought a new old truck, came back, stayed in a friends house for a few weeks here in Culiacan and finally moved in to my own place just a couple of weeks ago.  

Itty bitty house with great AC and new, old truck

 Whew!  all things with prayer and fasting ;o)

Ariel and my workers Bethany and Claudia

  oh yes, and Ariel came to visit in the middle of the heat and insanity.  it was awesome.

       As I mentioned last letter, the ministry really settles down a lot in the summer.  we only visit one camp a week now to disciple my friend Griselda and her family. 

 It has actually worked out to be a good time to move and get the new place fixed up, adopt a kitten, and try to get my fledgling business back up to speed.  hey at least this little place has air conditioning, THANK GOD!  I was gonna die!

    The Lord has also taken advantage of the time off to do a lot of inner work on me and a few of my workers as well.  Its been a great time to pray and seek the Lord,  discover areas that need work and pray some more.

Griselda and kids,  her daughter Bethsaida fell in love with the kitten

Because of all the coming and going I was not able to start the bible school yet.  Griselda however, did come to stay at my house for a while, and proved to be my most interested bible student. Therefore, I have opted to begin the bible training in her camp next tuesday.  Gerardo, Claudia, and Bethany will hopefully be joining us out there.

    So here's the prayer requests in summery:

• pray we really can start the bible training next tuesday and everyone can make it.  They all really need this.
• pray I get a lot more students and don't starve
• pray the new old car gets fixed. (some mystery to do with a gasket I think)
• pray God gives my workers and I opportunity to keep sharing the gospel even during our summer break from regular ministry
• Pray God provides me with roommates

Well, thanks so much for your care and support for me while I'm serving the Lord down here.  I couldn't do it without you guys. If you like the pictures, there's loads more on facebook, mostly of the cat ;o?

God's biggest blessings to you all in these last days
