Happy Autumn!
Hi Friends, hope you all had a Happy Halloween! We don’t really celebrate it here much because it is actually Dia Del Muerte, (Day of the dead). It is a day of the worship of St. Death. As Christians, we celebrate LIFE and know that Jesus DEFEATED death on the cross, Halleluia! But some of us missionaries got together to celebrate life and let the kids dress up in costumes. They didn’t go trick or treating, but got some candy at our own celebration. Please pray for all the missionaries in Pachuca. We each have our own challenges, but we have the same vision–to claim Pachuca for Christ. It is great to be able to work together with them.

Friday I am traveling to Kenya, Africa for a CMF Church Planting Forum. I am really excited to see Africa again, even though I will not be able to go to Eritrea because I can’t get a visa. : ( Anyway, I will be able to see some friends I haven’t seen in a long time, see Nairobi, learn some ideas about church planting and share our experiences with CHE. I guess I’ll come back with a tan, since it’s at the beach (tough job, but someone has to do it, sigh) Please pray for travel mercies and safety in Kenya. You may know that Americans are targeted by terrorists there. I will be returning to Mexico Nov. 19. I will try to post from Kenya, but if it isn’t possible, I will post soon after I return. God bless you all and thank you for your love and support.
