To Tepic
Hello,
Things feel a little more christmasy around here. John and I went to Tepic with some friends on Sunday evening for a Christmas service at La Fuente Tepic. We hadn’t been to Tepic yet. It was interesting to leave our little area and see a different part of Mexico. Tepic is about 3 hours away by car in dry climate at a higher altitude. The city itself was also very different. The atmosphere was a little more intense as it is not as isolate from the cartel issues as we are in Bucerías. It was a fun, spur of the moment trip to see several aquaintences at the Christmas show.
La Fuente Tepic Christmas Service
Yesterday, we had a Posada, or Christmas party, in San Ignacio. We had 100 kids and 30 adults attend our potluck and piñata party. We had ponche (a traditional Mexican Christmas drink with fruit and chunks of sugar cane in it), posole (a pre-columbian Mexican corn soup), and tamales. So good. It was very crowded with all those people trying to fit on our small porch. Thankfully, we had just enough food for everyone.
Last Tuesday, John Mark spoke at San Ignacio. He gave his testimony and talked about God’s goodness. The crows was very small, but he felt confident. I was upstairs teaching kids’class to the little ones, so I didn’t get the hear it, but my friend said it went well. John also had an opportunity to speak at the junior high youth group a while ago. He has a lot of opportunities this month to speak, and he is learning a lot.

Ladies' Group Christmas Party
We have several Christmas parties, programs, and outreaches still to come this month. Please pray with us that the Holy Spirit will prepare people’s hearts to receive him. John and I are doing well. We are excited about the things that we are involved with. Please continue to pray that we will continue to be healthy and learn Spanish. God has provided for us in unexpected ways. Please continue to pray that he will give us everything we need to do his will here in Mexcio.
God bless you & Merry Christmas
