1ra Reunion femenil Guanajuato Capital

Queridos hermanos en Cristo.

El día viernes 27 y sábado 28 de Noviembre la iglesia de Cristo en Guanajuato Capital tuvo su primera reunión femenil local con una asistencia de 18 mujeres y por primera vez nuestra querida hermana Lucero Sosa (invitada de lujo) y familia de la iglesia de Cristo en Toluca, Edo México; el tema expuesto por nuestra hermana Fue "Espiritualmente Bella" tema por cierto muy apropiado para las mujeres que asistieron.

Dear Christian brethren:

Friday November 27th and Saturday, November 28th the church in Guanajuato capital had its first local womens conference with an attendance of 18 women and, for the first time, our dear sister Lucero Sosa and family from the Toluca church in the state of Mexico. The theme determined by our sister was "Spiritual Beauty," a theme certainly appropriate for the attendees.

al termino de la segunda clase y para finalizar las mujeres hicieron unas manualidades muy bonitas y al parecer fue de gran aceptación pues pudimos "ver" como realmente se esforzaron por terminarlas, despues todas se reunieron para disfrutar de una rica "Barbacoa" en donde fueron atendidas por los hombres de la congregación, acto seguido disfrutaron de un rico pastel.

At the end of the second class and to finish up, the women made some pretty handcrafts, and they seemed to really enjoy it because we could see them working to finish them up. After the meeting they all met together to enjoy a delicious BBQ. The men of the congregation also attended the dinner, and immediately after, they enjoyed a delicious cake.

Como resultado de este evento su pudo contactar a la señora Maria y a su hija Maryjo (por cierto desde el domingo 29 y hasta la fecha ellan estan asistiendo a los servicios) tambien una señora que se llama Paola (60 años ) empezo a venir desde ese dia pero ella es fruto de la celula de evangelismo (los dias miercoles) y no solo ella sino que tambien y del mismo grupo evangelistico esta Victor (hombre que en su niñez fue monaguillo de la iglesia catolica) y que ahora por voluntad de nuestro Señor esta aprendiendo a conocer a Dios a travez de los estudios Biblicos.

As a result of this event, Maria and her daughter Maryjo were able to be contacted. Since November 29th up until now they have been attending the services. Also, a lady named Paola (60 years old) started to come that same day, but she comes from the Wednesday group evangelism study. Not only her, but Victor (a man who was a Catholic alter boy in his childhood) also comes from that same Wednesday study. Now, by God's will, he is learning to understand God by way of the Bible study.

Brothers (and Sisters) in Christ,

This email is to give you the latest news about the Wednesday small evangelism group. Yesterday there were 4 people in the group and also Josefina's sister Leni came to the group for the second time. She has many questions (she is Catholic) and I know that she is realizing how much she does not know God's word and this is having an impact on her. I ask for your prayers for them because it appears that they are making progress in knowing the truth. They still don't attend the worship but I know that they soon will. Their names are Victor, Leni, Branda, Maricela, and susana (the last ones are Josefina's daughters). Maricela has been coming to the worship for about a month.

Les envio la foto de la celula y de la clase de evangelismo que tiene ilse con una mujer que se llama Sofia.
Dios los bendiga
Por favor oren por nosotros

I am sending you a photo of the group that has Ilse with a lady names Sofia. God bless you all. Please pray for us.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda en la obra misionera en Gto, seguimos adelante con nuevos estudios y conociendo a mas gente, solo que ahora estoy cambiando la estrategia en mi manera de evangelizar, por eso les ruego sus oraciones a Dios para que nos bendiga con mas estudios de gente que en realidad quiera conocer a Dio y que no esten viniendo a la iglesia con el proposito de obtener algun beneficio personal (ya sea economico o de otra forma) y que al obtenerlo de algua manera se vallan despues de la congregación y que ya no quieran seguir estudiando. eso me ha desanimado un poco pero comprendo que asi tienen que ser, pues la Biblia dice que eso pasaria con algunas personas.

Dear Christian brethren,
I hope that you are found in good Elath and praising God’s faithfulness in your lives. Thanks so much for the help in the missionary work in Guanajuato – we are moving ahead with new studies and knowing more people, but now I am changing the strategy of my way of evangelizing. For this I ask your prayers to God that he will bless us with more people who really want to know God and who aren’t just coming to church for some personal benefit (be it financial or other) and who then somehow obtain it and then leave the congregation without wanting to continue studying. This has gotten me down a little but I know that it has to be so because the Bible says that this will just happen with some people.

Ahora estoy teniendo un nueva celula de evangelismo en casa de Josefina y gracias a Dios ya estan asistiendo 2 personas ella se llama Brenda tiene 25 años y esta viniendo los domingos a las 10 a la clase Dominical, el se llama Victor y tiene una necesidad de encontrar a Dios pues su vida ha tenido demaciados problemas.
Por favor sigan apoyandonos con sus oraciones
Dios los bendiga

No I am having a new evangelism study in Josefine’s house and thanks to God there are still 2 people (see photo) – her name is Brenda. She is 25 years old and is coming to Sunday classes at 10am on Sundays. He is Victor and he really has a need to find God because his life has had so many problems. Please continue helping us with your prayers.
God bless you.

Queridos hermanos en Cristo.
La Paz, Gracia y Misericordia de Dios padre sean con ustedes.
Este es el reporte del servicio dominical del13 de Septiembre.
Fuimos 17 personas que nos reunimos y que despues del culto fuimos a comer al "Pollo Feliz"
L buen noticia de todo esto es que una de las hijas de Josefina (nuestra hermana) lleva 1 mes reuniendose con nosotros en la iglesia y tambien esta viniendo una amiga de ella que se llama Brenda y ambas estan interesadas en la palabra, pido de sus oraciones por ellas.
Ruego sus oraciones por la iglesia en Guanajuato y por mi.

Dear brethren: The peace, grace, and mercy of Father God be with you all. This is the report of the Sunday service of September 13th. We were 17 people that met together and after the worship we went to eat at Pollo Feliz ("Happy Chicken") The good news of all of this is that on of the daughters of our sister Josefina has been meeting with us in the church for a month and one of her friends (named Brenda) has been coming too, and both are interested in the word. I ask your prayers for them. I beg your prayers for the church in Guanajuato and for me.

Pido tambien que oren por favor por mi mama pues el viernes pasado estuvo en el hospital pues tuvo un fuerte emorragia en la nariz y los doctores le dijeron que fue por causa de la presion alta y que gracias a Dios No la sangre no se fue al cerebro porque entonces habria tenido una apoplejia.
Mi mama (se llama Esperanza) ya esta mejor pero esta en reposo y necesita no tener estress, asi que espero que cuando ella se sienta mejor se venga a vivir un tiempo con nosotros y asi poderla ayudar de primera mano.

I also ask that you please pray for my mother because last Friday she was in the hospital because she had a major nosebleed and the doctors told her that it was because of hypertension, and thank God that it was not bleeding in the brain because if so she would have had a stroke. My mother (her name is Esperanza) is now better but she is resting and needs to not have any stress now, so I hope that when she feels better she will come stay with us for awhile so we can help her first hand.

Muchas gracias por su tiempo, por su amistad y su ayuda
en Verdad son una gran bendicion en nuestra vida.
Dios los bendiga siempre

Thanks so much for your time, your friendship, and your assistance. You are truly a great blessing in our lives. God bless you forever.

from a sister in Toluca, Mexico

Dear friends:My father has been diagnosed with prostate and pancreas cancer recently. The doctors are still trying to determine the stage and the treatment that he will be needing.I am trying to ask as many people as possible to pray for my father. Ever since I became a Christian I've prayed for my father's soul, but he still haven't been able to see the truth. Many times I've seen people coming to Christ after I study with them, but not my father. I've asked God that he would send at least one person to him in the same way He's sent me to others, but my father hasn't heard yet.I became the first Christian in my family, but it was a year after my mother's death. All these years my wish has been that at least one of my parents will be with me in heaven.Would you please pray that God will heal my father's body and soul soon? I need your help and I know God listens. Would you ask your friends to pray for him also?I have nine brothers and sisters.Only two of my sisters have obeyed the gospel so far. I know if God reveals himself through my father's life then my whole family can be saved. His name is Gustavo Borja. He is a good guy. Excellent engineer that has been honored by many in Mexico, not only for his intelligence but for his kindness and great character and yet, none of those things will get him to heaven :(Thank you for your time and for your prayers.In Christ,Carla. I don't know if you care or not, but I still wanted to share that with you. I am very nostalgic right now.

Dear Christian brethren, this is the report of the service of September 6th. We were 20 people (in attendance) and we give you thanks for your prayers.

My PC has a virus that doesn't let me write or send emails (I cannot open any web page from my PC) so that I am using Ilse's laptop right now and I will be sending my reports from here for the moment. I won't be sending photos, and they are already fixing my PC and I hope it will soon return to normal.

My little Samuel is sick. He had 2 days of vomiting and he needed a lot of serum (? Pedialyte?) and thanks to God that passed, but now he has diarrhea and he's already been almost a week like this. Today were looking for a pediatrician and we ask you for your prayers for him.

Thanks for everything. God bless you.
