Funeral flowers

 “Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, is not boastful, is not conceited, does not act improperly, is not selfish, is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 HCSB

Well, the big news this month was an impromptu trip for me to Ohio! Due to my Grandmother’s passing, we felt it was important for me to be with the family and honor her life legacy.
It was a very special time - commemorating Irene Rimelspach. She was a woman of great faith, loving and cherishing and praying for her family and husband. It was an honor to read from 1 Corinthians 13 at her memorial mass. What an inspiration in how she fulfilled those qualities.
Seeing and greeting and being with family members I don’t get to see often was a beautiful highlight - and of course getting to spend precious time with my parents and siblings (worth the two-day+ travel difficulties getting to Columbus).
Sis and some cousins
Xau held down the fort! He and the kids had a tiring week - keeping the school and church routines, helping with his mom as she is having some health issues and of course having fun outings :)

Earlier in the month...

At Crece (church plant) we had a lovely lunch after service one day! A believing woman who started attending recently said her husband wanted to donate a full meal for anyone who could stay after. It was a very sweet gift and time of fellowship.



Debbie stepped up to teach the whole workshop last Saturday at Twist.

A challenge we are having is with Twist. Our main leader got a new job and can no longer serve with us :( . So we’re kind of back to the drawing board and praying for wisdom on who could step up to that role.
One of the girls who has been faithfully coming to Twist since it started drew us this great picture.

Another positive from the month was a training seminar for parents and Children’s ministry workers. It’s always quite a bit of work preparing for the teaching (7 sessions between the two of us) but we love it. The church and attendees were very responsive and grateful. They asked for a sequel training in June. 
We ask for your prayers to keep our eyes on Jesus. As we see breakthroughs and face challenges our main desire is to love God and love people. It’s hard not to get impatient wanting to see people grow in their walk faster, but all we can do is be faithful and obedient. Pray for stamina and refreshing in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Mother's Day outing 
Our love and best to all of you ❤️ Hoping we can all come up to Ohio this summer as the kids are always asking and asking 😂

Every Step

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; a light has dawned on those living in the land of darkness. - Isaiah 9:2 Praise God for His light that breaks through our darkness!  This month I wanted to highlight a few testimonies from the year, starting with two key encounters since we've been back this fall.  On two unrelated occasions, we were able to sit down with beloved church members to work through and minister deliverance in areas of bondage in their lives. Praise God for His Spirit who moves us to confession and repentance and works to restore us by the power of His Word.  Pray for more of these times - that we may all be delivered from evil - just as Jesus prayed.     Training seminar for children's workers at this church: Eliaquim. It was an edifying and powerful time as they were touched by Father's heart for young ones. Jocelyn (above) & Karla: two more testimonies.  Karla started volunteering in Twist in 2023, but after star...

Treasure

Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us. - 2 Corinthians 4:7 Did anyone see that recent headline about a diver who stumbled upon nearly 50,000 bronze coins? The team also noted fragments of broken pottery.  I thought of this verse - imagining that "treasure" being held in those old earthen vessels. That's the beauty here.  Despite our fragility, God chooses to deposit in us the eternal riches of His Holy Spirit!  Praises: Renovations underway! This room had horrible moisture running through it due to inadequate roofing. Now, with proper paneling, the leakage will be eliminated. After remodeling adjustments for the adjacent room, Hector (full-time intern) will have a bedroom and this taller room will serve as our first church office! It was quite a project, but we're thankful to have a space for him to move into in the next week or two.  The beginning of September we celebrated Crece church's three ye...

A Man of Faith

“and we are confident and satisfied to be out of the body and at home with the Lord.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬    Juan Jaime Bueno: January 21, 1948- January 24, 2026  Xaume’s dad parted suddenly for his home with the Lord. Though we had seen a steep decline in his health and mobility, we didn’t know it would come this quickly. We honor his life as a man of faith, who treasured the Word, intercession, spiritual warfare and worship. He loved to laugh and keep up with the news. A dear friend to Xau, a father who loved him “as his own,” we will miss his regaños (scolding )  and hugs .  He loved his grandkids, and was very proud of each of them. We were proud of them as they helped unload the Operation Christmas Child boxes this December. The Crece team facilitated three outreach events where kids and families received this free gift from the Father and heard about the greatest gift: a relationship with Him.  La Palma outreach Zumpango Christmas Child Outreach...
