Well, a new week has begun. Last week was an in-between week. By that I mean, in-between events in the church. Easter is behind us and this coming weekend is our spiritual gifts inventory seminary. It has been several years since we did such a seminar and it is something we want to begin doing with every new believer. There is a lot of interest. I believe there are fifty-two of our members signed up for the four-hour event.

On to other matters. Several of our church members are really struggling financially. Often, even as college graduates, they cannot find a job and if they do, the pay is substandard. Faith is put to the test at times such as these. Concern and worry is clearly seen in the faces of these dear brothers. Our hearts go out to them. We hold them up in prayer and the church often steps in with money to help out as it can.

Today was a good day with the believers. There was a total of 85, even with several big families out. There was a good spirit among the people, even with the problems mentioned above. Please continue to pray for your brothers and sisters in the Lord here in Puerto Rico.

Take care. Until next time...

Johnathan and Mary
