"Howdy", as they say from my wife's neck of the woods. We wish you a happy and joyful day in the Lord. Summer lingers on here. It climbed nearly to ninety yesterday. I told Mary I would love to smell the fragrances of fall, my favorite time of the year. I still miss it after nearly forty years in Puerto Rico.


The last two weeks have been busy, busy and blessed. October 1-8 we received the fourth and final missions team of the year, a team of twenty-five from the Harroldsburg KY area. Three pastors along with some great adult team leaders brought a hard working team of young adults and teens who took on and finished four projects in the span of four work days. Three houses were painted, as well as a concrete floor poured (by hand). Hats off to a hard working group of believers.

Yesterday our church enjoyed an annual event, Splash Day. After church the kids delighted in the thrills of three inflatable houses, water and all. As for the adults, we tried to not get wet. All of us savored some roasted pork and chicken.

Attendance continues to hold up. The last two weeks were marked with attendances of 107 and 109 (not including the team from KY).

Coming up next is our effort to reach out to the community with the Fun Festival (Festival de Alegría) at the Aguadilla Mall set for the 31 of October.

Until then we wish you the best.

Johnathan and Mary
