Family: We are here! So many changes have happened this week, and I had forgotten how hard it was to take up your roots and plant your life in a new city. We are officially living in our new home and are mostly settled. I still need to find a few things and get a working stove, but we are slowly finding our new normal. Church: The church at West End has been prepping for our first Sunday worship service which is June 10th, 2018. Lots of behind the scenes work has been done to get us off to a good start including new emails, tracts, invitations, website updates and contact lists. Our worship area is being set up with chairs, a pulpit, projector, screen, and Bibles! The men of the English speaking church have responded so quickly and energetically to supply our mission with all the necessary equipment for a successful start. Last evening, after Lads to Leaders practice, we were able to get to know our new Minister Team and their families at West End. We are so excited to work with such talented, good, genuine, passionate people. Side Note: Between the 3 families we have 10 young Children! The future of the church is looking bright. Mission: Since we moved from Memphis, we have been meeting Hispanics everywhere we go. We went to a River City Rascal game for a birthday party, and in the tent next to us was a Latino Family. The father's name was Isaias. He has 3 children, and he said that he is a Catholic. But he also said he liked to hear about God whenever he could get a chance. After, 45 minutes of conversation, teachings, and getting to know about him, we now have his contact information. We look forward to future Bible studies with his nice family. Please Pray for us. We are going to be working all week passing out flyers, and inviting people to our first Worship Service this coming Sunday June 10. Pray that the hearts of the souls we meet are softened and open to the truth, and that we are able to help them to find their salvation.
