Well I have two thing of utmost importance to tell you all, and two that arn't as important but still important.
First: MY PARENTS ARE CELEBRATING THIRTY ONE YEARS OF MARRIAGE TODAY!!!!!!! It is amazing how God has worked in their lives and how He used both of them to raise six unique children and helped them to grow each day in their love for each other. Thanks Mom and Dad you are a great example of a good marriage.
Second: OUR CHURCH IN URUGUAY IS GETTING A NEW CHURCH BUILDING!!!!!!!!!! I don't exactly know all the details but I'm going to paste a copy of the letter I recived.
Dear Prayer Team,
We are so excited! After years of praying, the Lord has led us to an agreement on a building for our church! The paperwork process is underway. It's not ours yet - but barring any unforeseen obstacle it should be ours within a couple weeks. Please keep praying. Our church family is super encouraged at the way God has worked!
Last Tuesday (July 25), we received a phone call from a guy (Jorge) at a real estate office. He had shown me a piece of property in January as a possibility for a church building. Jorge had remembered us and called to ask if our church was still looking for a building. He said he had something in our neighborhood that might meet our needs - a church building! A Catholic Church is selling the building you see in the picture. It's only five blocks from our present location.
We went to take a look at it the next day. It is impressively big. There is certainly room to grow. There will be plenty of room for special events and ministries: VBS, Christmas program and dinner, anniversary meetings and other outreaches. It should be a permanent fixture in our neighborhood for years to come as a beacon of light.
Through the church's own savings and an interest-free loan, we have the funds to buy it! Anything we have looked at over the years has been double in cost. The timing is perfect too: our contract runs out the end of August on the place we are presently renting . We are dreaming of having our church's 13th anniversary meeting the first Sunday of September! You are invited! (you might have to bring your own chair!)
This is sooooooo coool I just feel WOW. Of course it would have never been posible without God.
Third: Our store is going to be closing on the 12 of August. Business has been really slow and the owner just wants to close before there is to much more damage done. So that means I will have a week and a half off before I go to school. Which part of I plan to spend with Drew and Teresa
Fourth: I've got a ride to ABC!!!!!!!!!!!! I called the school and asked if there was anyone near me that would be willing to give me a ride to school and they found a guy in like an hour east of Kansas City. So I'll be going with them to ABC!!!! Drew and Teresa have offerd to drive me to their house, which is a major blessing. Well I think thats about it. "Talk" to ya'll latter.
P.S: here is a picture of the new church. ( I made the sign it's not really there 8^D)
