Ah....today I feel more at home in Mexico than ever. I finally found my local Mexican church! This morning with fellow staff members, Sarah and Nate, I set out to find the church that I discovered on Sovereign Grace Ministries website before I moved down here. My second Sunday in Mexico I spent 2 hours trying to find it and the service was over by the time we got there. Well, this morning we met with success. The service was amazing, the people all welcoming, the worship sincere, and there are a couple of people there who speak English and will tape a translated copy of the sermons for us! Hopefully, we won't need it for too much longer as we are all eager to improve our Spanish. Thank you all for your prayers that I would find a good church down here!

ReplyDeleteAwesome Martha, glad things are going great and glad you found a good church! You've been missing a lot of volleyball action here this summer, we've been playing down at Hamilton Mill a lot. We're getting pretty good, you might see us in the Olympics one day hehe.
