Since the last time that I wrote
an entry many things have happened. Evie and I have been trying very hard to
establish a young women’s Bible study. Right before we left for the United
States on the 9th of April, we had a movie night with the girls.
Five girls came, which is great compared to one or zero. We decided to do this
since before, our intent was to have a Bible study, to open the Bible and study
it with them so they could grow their faith. Then once we tried to do that and
announced we were doing that, no one came even after they said they would. Some
of these girls have just accepted Jesus into their hearts and some are not even
Christians yet, they are just curious or just come because their friends do.
But because they are so new to Christianity and the Bible, they may not see the
value of opening their Bibles and therefore may not see why they should commit
to a weekly Bible study. Since we were not getting a good response with the
weekly Bible study Evite and I decided we needed to do something different. Now
that we are back in Mexico we have to get together with the girls again and
hope that we can reach them.
On Easter Sunday we had three baptisms in
the river and it was very cool. One 80 year old cow boy and two teenagers
decided to allow God to sanctify their lives and be washed with the water. Two
days later four other teenage boys wanted to be baptized also so we baptized
them in the ocean. These baptisms were important since it showed their faith is
maturing and that they plan on following God for their whole life.
