Spent 2 days with our good friends, Peter, Debbie, Josh and Matheus on their beautiful boat in Isla Mujures. Played tennis (sort of), swam, ate great food, and just enjoyed good friends. Thank you so much, Verstoeps, for a wonderful time.
Chuck and Karla arrived Friday from Anchorage. They are trying to adjust to the heat and humidity, seemed to do better on the beach Sunday afternoon! You can always jump in the water to cool off. Bill and Renee have several tasks for them to do around the mission house in preparation for other teams. It has been great to see them and renew good friendships.
We had 38 in Worship Sunday with many returning from vacations over the past month. I think we are officially in the down season in Tulum and are trusting God to average 35 over the summer months. The owner of HC Restaurant told us yesterday he is moving to a new location. It is much smaller and so Lighthouse Church is in search of a new location. We have a couple of weeks to do this and will trust God to lead us to a location that will allow us to grow in preparation for the fall when we will be praying and working toward averaging 60-70 regular attenders.
It continues to rain and our Internet service has just been terrible the past 2 weeks. That has made it tough to talk with family and friends over Skype or magic jack. Terry will be checking into an International calling plan via cell. It has been great being able to talk to our kids or my parents anytime I needed too. The slightest storm or even clouds, it seems, really messes with our signal. The past couple of weeks has taught me once again not to take the little things for granted.
Love all of you much. Thank you for your prayers and support.
