Hello From Menno-ville

Apart from the palm trees and heat it's like we're at home. Here in Spanish Lookout life it a lot like Southern Manitoba. Over the past couple days we've been connecting with the youth from the EMMC here in Spanish Lookout. Things have been going extremely well and there's a large group of quality youth that are willing to help us with the two days camps we'll run next week. Approximately 20 young people came out for training and they are like eager sponges. It's really been encouraging.

I am getting a little tired and am starting to get a little sick. But the Lord is good and faithful to carry us through. As I laid down for a few minutes this afternoon I thought, "wait a second, I haven't even asked God to restore my strength and health." Immediately my throat and head stopped hurting. However, I still feel like a good night's rest wouldn't hurt. Your prayers certainly wouldn't hurt either.

Tomorrow we wrap up and start heading back to Orange Walk. We'll take a one day scenic route back and then polish off some details. Please pray for Alex. There's still a lot left and if he's as tired as I am (which I suspect he is) he'll really need some strength to finish well.
