Greeting from Guanajuato

This is Keith Boan. 
I have been in Guanajuato since Friday, and we´re having a great time here.  The nights are cool, but it´s just my kind of weather.
Friday night we had a Bible study in a home and enjoyed good songs, a good study from 1st John, and some great chalupas. I am continually amazed by the hospitilidad I experience here.
We spent the day Saturday looking at hotel options for a summer group trip from Northview, walking around town making copies and other quehaceres (errandS), and enjoying some good food and coffee outdoors.  Saturday evening we dropped Ilse and little Samuel off at a ladies meeting - there were about 14-15 ladies there.  Raciel, Annie, and I went to the ¨mall¨and god Japenese in the food court.  Believe it or not, this place has awesome sushi (Sushi in Gto - who´da thunk it)
Sunday has been great.  The worship service was great.  There were 45-50 people there.  Raciel had a great sermon about the love of God.  I gave the comments for the offering in my broken Spanish - I was very nervous, but I think it was well recieved.  After serivces we had a small vision clinic.  I lost count, but I think there were 50 or more people there.  We were able to help most of them, and I will be sending back a few pairs of glasses for some of the church ´regulars.´  One of the church memeber brought 100 tamales and they were all gone (I took a few minutes to have a coupl e.) Tonight we´ll watch the Super  Bowl and then grab some dinner, and then I´ll return home tomorrow.

Please pray for the Rameriz family and for the work here in Guanajuato.  I see great things happening here.  We hope to bring a group from Northview here in the summer.  The future of this congregation is very bright, and this city can be impacted in an amazing way for Christ.  Keep praying!
