 The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn't have the Son does not have life.  -1 John 5:12 Growing girl!  After many months, October brought several "in-person" events.   As The Day of the Dead  continues to g ain force and popularity,  Xau started off the month working hard on writing, recording video sections, and preparing materials for the "Choose Life" lesson.  It's a special lesson we develop each year (around Halloween/Day of the Dead) to emphasize and celebrate the life we find in Christ.  We want kids to enjoy the season and have fun - celebrating the wonder of life with Jesus!   As Twist clubs start back up, we printed special face masks and t-shirts - for both kids and teachers.  Grace, Love & Communion church (below)  invited Xaume to preach at their semi-annual youth gathering.   Then the Choose Life lessons began! This year I didn't try to tag along with the three kids, but Yazna...

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11 This month we simply want to testify to the goodness of God. We are so thankful.  Grace is doing beautifully, and we are sleeping more hours at night!  Little by little we are getting into the new swing of things.  Of course, we ask you to pray always for wisdom in time-management.  Praise God we are feeling well, never having any symptoms, and we've now graduated out of our strict month-quarantine (after the positive COVID results).  We're thankful to have been able to stock up at Costco and buy Liam's school supplies and other needs online.  Before you click on the video, we just want to say this is all for God's glory.   Through your generosity, God has provided supernaturally (this year especially).  We've invested in the ministry and have also been able to renovate a part ...

I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's GRACE that was given to me by the working of His power. // Ephesians 3:7 ... God gave me this verse for baby Grace - a word for her divine destiny :)  Here's a video update!  Please take a few minutes to view:  Some shots from the month:  Baby Grace's arrival!! August 21st at 2:32 pm.  Labor was fast, about half an hour once contractions started really hitting.  A light-weight: 5 Lbs 16 oz, 19 inches, but very happy and healthy!  Video recording sessions...we have footage for four tutorials - now to edit, edit, edit! (little by little) Xau and Jesús did a kids' lesson at this church outreach event - the first in-person activity in a long time! Face masks, distancing, sanitizer and all...  Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Can't wait to introduce Grace in person...I guess December will be here soon.  All our love!    .....

Rejoice always,  Pray continually,  Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Fourth of July portrait We've been enjoying summer! With Liam finishing his school year and various festive occasions, it's been a good month of both work and celebration.    Liam's first pre-school year is complete! Here's his special character award for being an "entrepreneur."  Ever-learning as we go forward with the website.  Xau finished writing and filming the first video tutorial on how to start a kids' club. Now comes the editing process!  Our friend, Adrian is the videographer we're working with until we get our own cameras and lights.  The dining room serves nicely to transform into the "set." Pray for me as I prepare to film the next session on Monday! The  "To the Great Commission"  yearly training conference in Guatemala is going online this yea...

Wait for the Lord;  Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.  -Psalm 27:14 Another month in "quarantine!" Even though it´s a "forced" waiting season, we see God's grace at work.  Time together as a family has been a treasure of course - and stretching of course : )  On the ministry front,  He's  given us a vision for some new focus areas that we´re excited about.   It's overwhelming at times, but we're taking steps of faith to work towards them.  Project  1. - Finish and print the first Twist Kids´ Club manual The design phase is coming along as we pick away at it.  We've been learning InDesign - I work on fitting the text and Xau on adding the illustrations.   Project 2. - Tenacity Website This is our biggest undertaking so far!  The goal is to create a tutorial-video-based website to further training for ministry.  By incorporating material from varied fields we aim to provide to...
