After a Week in Mexico

Things are going well. We arrived safe and sound in Negritas and spent nine days there. We spent all day Tuesday giving a Bible conference - Jon preached 5 times. Saturday was an all day of prayer and Sunday he gave two more messages. Jerilyn had many good conversations with the ladies and taught children's church several times so that all the ladies could attend the messages that Jon gave. Jon met with the leaders of the church two times and Jon and Jerilyn had a very good meeting with Lupe and Leti on Monday morning.

We are now in Huajuapan, Oaxaca, Mexico with Juan and Vicki Herrera - a couple we ministered to for many years in Oregon and Jon baptized 5 years ago. They are doing well and Juan is starting Bible School this month. He is helping to start a church in his home town.

On Thursday we will be traveling to Jessie's in-law's house for a couple days of R&R before heading back towards Oregon.

Pray for the fan in our car to work as it has been on and off. When it is hot and off we have no air conditioning and traveling in Arizona can be unbearable with 100+ temperatures. Mexico is green and much cooler.
