We are staying oh-so-busy! Yesterday we taught in the school for a few hours in the morning and because the schedule changed, we had no afternoon classes. Soo... we had an afternoon of rest and adventure for matthew´s birthday! We kinda bathed haha (baby wipes are a gift from God) and fixed ourselves up...matthew spent about 10 bucks on a dress up outfit! Sarah and i used our church clothes...and Anita...pictured below with Matthew fixed us some of the BEST fettucini alfredo any of us had ever eaten! Sarah and i went on tuesday and arranged to have a special meal and cake...and it turned out SPLENDID. The kids insisted on singing happy birthday to him at the school yesterday mon...and they took the holy candle from the Jesus shrine in the corner (can we say awkward) and asked him to blow it out as tried to sing happy birthday in english... it was so amusing! Last night we had church and they asked matthew to speak again on Sunday night. Sarah is also giving a testimony on Saturday night. This is encouraging...we feel as tho we´ve been able to encourage them since they´ve asked us to ´´preach´´ again. Pray for sarah and mateo as they prepare and as i translate! So hen matthew got hugs from all the church members as they sang ´´feliz cumpleanos a hermano!´´ It was such a blessed day! We felt productive in the school...and blessed by our Lord as we celebrated Matthew´s Birthday!
The kids are really taking to us...asking lots of questions. Relationships are developing. Please continue to pray for all the ESL classes we are teaching...as they are our primary time for evangelism. Thank you-- all you praying saints-- for the hours you spend on your knees. We are alive and well and ´´predicando la palabra de Dios´´ to ready hearts because of it:)
GLORIA A DIOS! QUE DIOS LES BENDIGA!

Hello guys,
We are so glad for what the Lord is doing. Happy birthday Matt, hope you enjoyed your cake and Fetuccini Alfredo. We continue to pray for you. He will complete His work in you and through you. "Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the author of faith. He also makes it perfect. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God" Hebrews 12:2
Please say hello to all the believers in Corongo. We are praying for them too.
Love,
Daniel & Sardis
