A Day in Ixmiquilpan

Praise the Lord for His many blessings. We celebrate the baptisms of Luis Mercado Rodriguez and Tania Torreblanca Rico. Sunday, September 30th, they were buried in Christ and raised to walk a new life in Christ Jesus. We appreciate your prayers for them and for their new life in Christ. We also shared together in praying a prayer of dedication for their son (four years old) Emiliano and took communion for their first time. It was also special that Tania’s aunt and uncle and two cousins were present to witness and participate in the baptism and communion service. It should be pointed out that a jacuzzi does not make an ideal baptistry, but Steve was able to “fit” them into the available space.

The community center at the Eagles Church has begun English Classes. Kay is teaching the elementary children of which there were 3 in the morning and 31 in the afternoon. Joy Jimenez is assisting where needed and Jorcy Flores teaches a Spanish class to the children after their English time with Kay. Steve is teaching the middle and high schoolers as well as a few adults. In the AM Steve had four students and in the afternoon around 35. We’ll try to pry the camera from Kay’s hands next week and get a photo of her as well.

Just a couple of photos you might find interesting. These are photos of Mexico City under construction. The main loop around MC is being expanded by building a second level, and in one of the photos you can see that they are building a lower level, possibly part of the subway system.
