Hi once again from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Today was Friendship Day at the church. For three weeks we had promoted the event; a special speaker, special music, good song service, and good food after church. This year we put up a 20x30 foot tarp in the front lawn of the church for the dinner. Several men arrived early to get everything ready and then stayed to the end to make sure everything was put away.

The bottom line is that it was a great attendance: one-hundred and twenty-three. It was a capacity crowd, every chair but three in the building was taken. Thirty were guests, several being first time visitors. This year we are ahead of 2008 for first time visitors and last year was a record...200+.

After sitting down to catch our breath, Mary and I were off to visit some church members to begin planning Mothers' Day.

We hope you have a great week. Thanks so much for partnering with us.

Johnathan and Mary
