Welcome to Steve and Kay Carpenter’s Brief. It is great to have you alongside.

Last week we mentioned the dedication held for Santiago’s first birthday. He was such a good humoured child. In fact, so was everyone! In the end we discovered it was also his mother’s birthday so Santi’s dad and grandfather had ordered a cake and mariachi’s. The following photos tell the story.

Luis and Tanya have requested that we travel to Ixmiquilpan to celebrate their baptisms. Ixmiquilpan is a two hour drive north of Tultepec and about 45 minutes from Pachuca. There are many waterparks in the area and a hotel we are familiar with where we can do the baptisms. Keep us and our plans in your prayers.

Also, we appreciate your prayers as we have been on the road this past weekend. We travelled up to Pachuca for our Mexico Field Team meeting. We also attended the New Life Christian Church which Greg and Vicki Syverson helped start and currently serve as small group leaders and as members of the leadership team.

May the Lord bless you and yours.

In Christ,

Steve and Kay
