Life has been really fast since I last wrote. Saturday's trip to Tribu de Jesus was a good one. We helped Pastor Von and Julian do a wash day and played with the kids. We had a large group of twenty from our church and UCSD. It was the first time this group served with us. It turned out to be a long day. We returned late but we had a lot of fun. One guy from UCSD ate 11 tacos at the taco shop! We also stopped by the ice cream shop. The best part of the whole day was that the kids were blessed and had a good time. We tried out a couple of new things. We have a new beauty chair that is fun for the girls to sit in when they have their nails and hair done. We also have a new "store" that sits on the tailgate of the truck that helps with the distribution of prizes. Both new items worked real well. The group did two skits that were a big hit with the kids.

The next day was Sunday. Brenda and I had the privilege of being a part of David Mazur's worship service. Their church is awesome for many reasons. They are very missions oriented and have great youth. There was a problem with the power at the church, and we had service with no power. It was great. It was a joy to share with the word with a this church. David and his friends have become faithful partners serving regularly in Mexico. They are planing three missions trips this summer. Please pray for God's blessings for the groups and those whom they serve.

On Monday Grandpa and I did several small jobs for the ministry. Brenda and I are taking Spanish classes again on Tuesday and Thursday nights. We are enjoying the class and learning to speak a little better. Today we also worked on several things for the ministry. One thing is Monumental....... We now have Sentri on the white van. This should reduce our border wait from 1.5 - 2 hours to about 30 minutes or less. What a joy! Thank you Lord! And thank you Clairemont Emmanuel and Eloy for allowing us to use the church van.

Wednesday morning discipleship was a good time. The group went to breakfast together. We will be starting a new series next week. Please pray that all of us will grow in Christ as we study the Word together.

Tomorrow will be a wash day at Pipila. We are expecting a lot of rain. It will most likely not be a normal wash day but we will still pass out vegetables to the community.

We have a need for boys clothes. We are running out of them a lot. If you have any to give we would appreciate it.

Camp is coming in the beginning of May and we are going to take a trip down to the campground on Tuesday to begin work on the stage and props. Please begin to pray with us that God will open the hearts of the kids. Camp is a great time for God to work in the lives of these boys. Last year five kids made decisions for Christ.

We are beginning to work on our stuff for Spirit West Coast. This event is at the end of May and there will be a lot work as we prepare for this opportunity. Please keep us in prayer for this event.

Chau for now.
