Wow! What a crazy, busy week we have had in Tepic.
We arrived Saturday night and attended the youth service. It was very powerful. We loved watching the youth worship with all of their hearts. We really liked the church and it felt almost like River Valley! We felt at home with the contemporary music and the upbeat friendly people.
Monday through Wednesday we had awesome teachings on Leadership. The church has their own discipleship school and we were able to attend class with them. Then Thursday the whole class set out for Bucerias, MX which is about 15 minutes from Puerto Vallerta. We worked with a large grade school for two days and did dramas, dances, 
testimonies and fun activies for the children. The group I was in went out to the neighborhood and did evangelism while Levi's group helped paint an orphanage. It was really fun working with another group of young adults and worked well together.
Saturday we arrived back in Tepic that afternoon and that evening we were in charge of a whole youth service at a different church in Tepic. So it has been very hectic from moving from place to place and doing ministry work back to back but at th
e end of the day we both feel privileged to be able to work for God. After being in the classroom and learning about becoming a true disciple of Christ it is fun to put into practice some of these teachings.
UPCOMING EVENTS: Tonight we lead another church service, Wednesday we go to a indigenous mountain village, Saturday we leave from Tepic, MX.
Some prayer requests are :
- Stay strong during our hectic schedule
- God's provision in finances for our next years budget in Cuernavaca
- Against homesickness during the Holiday seasons
- New Celebrate Recovery ministry

Hey guys, we've been missing you guys and praying for you! Sounds like you've been having a great time. You guys are missionaries! That is awesome! I'm sure you are blessing gobs of people. While the house is quieter, we don't miss driving out to the Quinta everyday. We look forward to hearing all about the trip upon your return.
Hey you two -
Missing you so much this 1st holiday apart, but so thankful for what you are doing, and what the Lord is doing in you. Dad and I prayed for you this morning and later listened to your song "Amazing Grace" together. It was very painful, and made us miss you even more. But, when it got to the part about "my chains are gone", we both realized, "now THAT is something to truly be THANKFUL for on this Thanksgiving". Levi and Kelly, your chains are gone. God has done - and is doing a GREAT thing in you. We are so proud of you. Have a blessed Thanksgiving in the Mountains.
Much Much Love!
