Clinica Pena de Horeb, Cardenas Mexico

I found out yesterday that the missionaries who were managing the clinic have left the mission field. Please be in prayer for them. I realize that is a generic request, but I think it is best to leave it that way. The Holy Spirit knows what their needs are. When I left Mexico, I hadn't anticipated such a turn of events, and was expecting a news letter. I never received one. With the connection to the clinic lost, I was concerned that I might not be able to get reconnected. I would like to return sometime to help with the campaigns. Fortunately, I was able to find a phone number on the internet for one of the board members I had the extreme pleasure to get to meet while there. Richard from San Antonio. I called him last night. It was one of those "Uh, I'm calling for the Richard who was in Mexico in Chiapas in January and February, I'm {Sergeant Theophilus, obviously a pseudonym} and I was in Mexico with you at the end of January. Do I have the right person?" Well, praise the Lord, I reached the correct Richard on the first call. He brought me up to date on the ministry. He did say they were looking for a fulltime missionary couple to take on the responsibility of day to day management.. He also said that they'd been doing it for 15 years without a missionary, so the work would go on. He said he's been back a couple of times and told me details of those visits. He gave me his contact info and that of a person in my community who I also met while there. I was just so glad and so relieved to get in touch. Hopefully, perhaps in the fall I can go back. At least though I can help out through prayer and giving to help this work. I think about Chiapas and the people there a lot. I told my daughter about this and she asked "are you going to go to be the missionaries there?" The answer is no, I don't see that as a possibility. But then I never say never, because I've learned over the years that God ignores our nevers.

I'm enrolling in a conversational Spanish course that a couple is going to be teaching at church one night a week. My Espanol is muy malo y mas pequeno, so if I want to minister from time to time there, I really need to get my skills up. I think this class will be a small step on the road to being more effective in that role. Yo queciro cambiar algun dollars por pesos. Muchas Gracias Senor. See what I mean.
