it has been a long time



NOTE FROM JEANIE SUE .......Today has been an active day in the CASA DEL PASTOR.... we started with devotions in the dining area with 8 moms. Nati, the supervisior of CDP was sharing great points wisdom of II Cronicals 11 and it was deep and a powerful message for the moms. She is a wise woman and she is full of love and patience reguarding each mom. THEN as we cleared the kitchen the breakfast bell rang and the children loudly got in line after washing their hands and face for the morning . Children from all age groups are perparing for school and 25 of the children for school have already been taken to school and the third trip to take school kids will be at 8:30am . The childcare worker has supervised the dining hall of rambunctious children and now has called the school age children to the homework table and the other child care worker had called the toddlers to form a line to go to the club where they will spend their day with activiities and play groups and the reading circle . IT seems chaotic but it is all in order and can get really active and alot of movement but it is home to me ..
I have been in the east of the states visiting a few brothers and sisters in the LORD. Lisa and I went to visit a church that has been very involved in putting in the foundations of the homes of the moms who buy property here in San Vicente . The time back east was a time of refreshment to fellowship with the team members that have come to San Vicente. We had an opportunity to speak to the body of Calvary Chapel Esmerelda Coast . They have been the main foundation layers since we started to see moms buy their lots locally. SINCE Lisas mom was local she stayed there and visited with her mom for a few days and I had the opportunity to go to Illinois and visit my family members . I have not gone back to Illinois since my father passed away . I felt it was time to see my family again and I was totally glad that I did and it was a family reunion. Each time I spoke about the LORD they really listened and I was totally impacted on how interested they were about things of the LORD .. My cousin even agreed to go to a Creation Museum in Ky. with me. However ,noone made decisions but it will come in the LORDs timing..
I am so amazed that the time has gone so fast and the last entry has been so long ago . So much has happened since then ., Right now we have 13 moms that live in CDP and *4 of them have purchased property, and 9 moms who have their own homes ...with all these we have about 90 cdp kids and totall of 105 children **(including the childcare children) *this includes our children that live with Lisa and I .
We have a full youth group and I have meetings each week with our 15 teens .. plus the once a week girls group that I have meeting in my home . Capilla Calvario de San Vicente keeps us real busy and we have acivities and or prayer meetings almost every evening. Plus the groups are beginning to come and they have many plans for us at CDP.
So as you can see I do have a full plate but It is a awesome life and I love being here in Mexico serving the LORD. It is a peasure to be sharing the LORD with the folks of Mexico and I want to thank each one of you who make it possible. thanks to the LORD and you too.
as ever SERVING THE LORD WITH JOY
