A dog belonging to our friends the Yinglings in San Juan del RÃo, Mexico, has a pet rock.
The Yinglings had us over at their house for a Sunday service and some pizza, and I took this brief video of their two dogs. The one, playing the his rock. The other could not understand his friend’s fascination with geology, and just wanted him to play something normal…
I have here some video of a very special service we had here in Ixtapaluca today. It was a worship service, a gathering of a church not four years old, to recognize its first elder/pastor and deacon, Martín and Miguel.
It was such a great time to focus on the Lord – what He has done, what He is doing here.
We read Acts 13:1-3, remembering how the Holy Spirit chose people for His service in the early days of the Church. We also read Romans 11:33-36, which reminds us that God truly is great beyond imagination, and at the centre of everything.
Anyway, on with the video. Some weird things about it – for one thing, I was at the front when we actually laid hands on and prayed for Martín and Laura and Miguel and Tania, so the "highlight" of the service is not in the video. Maybe I can beg a photo from someone else to show you later. For the same reason you miss some of the music (since I was playing keyboard).
And I don’t point out these two couples in the video, though I think you do see all of them. However, there’s a nice shot of Martín with a video camera, and during Rod’s closing prayer you can see both couples to his right. See some pictures of them here.
Antonio Muñoz also gave a challenging message – a great reminder of the responsibility we all have to be servants in the church – not just a few people.
I’m so thankful to be among people who are looking to the Lord and glorifying Him – that’s what it’s all about!
Hey look! The city of Monterrey, Mexico wants to host the 2020 Summer Olympics! Of course, they face some pretty fierce competition – Toronto Canada wants the games too. 😉
So you want a little driving tour of our area? Darrol Prusia took this video during his visit here, and graciously allowed me to make use of it.
It looks to me like the audio and video are out of sync in the first section. Be patient, it doesn’t last long.
This is a video of our trip up to the Paséo de Cortés, where Hannah and Nathanael went fishing (among many other things). Also, you can see a close-up of the peak of Popocatépetl, with real-live volcano smoke. 😉
Our friend Mar came over today. Along with Shari and Shari’s Mom, they went to the market here in Ixtapaluca, and then came back to our house and cooked a fabulous meal. See Shari explain the finished product! 🙂
