2010

IT'S 2010!


egyptian ratscrew, nerts, speed, kings in the corner, and trying to invent our own card game called becsanda 0r amanecca.
You know New Years Rockin Eve and Justin Beiber was apart of bringing in the New Year!
Triple Yahtzee, scattergories, boggle, and words with friends. And pretty much any other game you could possibly think of i am pretty sure we played it.
Bringing in the New Year with a Yummy breakfast. I got a little carried away with the ketchup. Eggs (without nutmeg colby), strawberries and biscuits, and sausage. YUMMY! thanks amanda!
Blessed by some little ones.

Sheri Yates is one of the most incredible people i have ever known. the thing that draws me to her is her confidence in Christ and that No matter what she only speaks truth into peoples lives. When i grow up i wanna be like her. I call her my Beth Moore in Edmond.

The three girls in the picture above are her daughters. i am sure when they grow up they wanna be like their mama too. I am always amazed when i hear her children speak. They are so excited about the power and authority they have through their King. oh yes i know what you are thinking aren't they really young? Yes they are, but they have no problem letting you know that their hope and trust is in the Lord.
i had the privilege of going to lunch with them and hearing all about their lives and their New Years Resolutions. Spencer (the oldest) continues to amaze me. Not only does she want to learn Spanish (which i am pumped about) and Chinese (holy cow how hard) but she said her New Years Resolution is to tell 1 person each day about Jesus Christ. What 10 year old says that? then i asked her if she had already started and she said she was 20 days ahead. I WAS IN SHOCK. Sheri continues to tell me Spencer has a heart for orphans. She kept saying her kids had a surprise for me. while we were eating Spencer tells me that they did something on behalf of the orphan child. so i was interested to hear. she then explains that they wanted to help out and give money to help orphans. They went around asked for donations, helped clean houses, and sold homemade soap to raise money. Then her sweet little hand reached over and handed me a check. i pretty much was trying to hold back the tears. Their donation on behalf of the orphan child was probably the sweetest most innocent donation i have ever seen or heard of. i am so thankful for the friendship i have with their mother and my developing friendship with her children.
Sheri, thank you for being such an example in my life. You have added so much. Looking at you and your family is an honor and i am blessed to know you ALL. Thank you for your continued support and love you ALWAYS give me when i am home and when i am in Mexico.
Blessings to your entire family as you continue to spread the Gospel to all people.

2010 is going to be a big year. I believe God has a lot in store for us here Monterrey, Mexico and for you also. our personal goal here as staff is to see 10 jovens (teens) come to know the Lord. God is moving and we are witnessing a revival with our teens on the property. This weekend we are going to a youth conference with all of them and are praying for all their eyes to see and comprehend, for their ears to open and for them to understand, and for them to be touched by the power of Christ. Please pray along with us as we have a great weekend investing in our teens.
