You can complain that we&#8217;re suffering from beautiful Mexican weather if you like. But for whatever reason, it turned colder and windier on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we have tarps and tents to shield us from the sun. But those just seem like giant sails when the wind starts to gust. I was leading the music on Sunday, and in spite of various clips and other things I was using to anchor down my music, I simply had to stop and talk between each song as I tried to manoeuvre the next song sheet into place, knowing that half the time I still wouldn&#8217;t be able to see all of it because of the wind. Even setting up and taking down was a major challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the brief video below, you can see our service leader and our preacher trying to keep their Bibles open to the right page, and catch papers that went flying (all the time trying to stay casual and professional). We in the congregation were having a hard enough time, as bulletins and song books went flying, and our Bibles insisted on moving on to other texts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anyway, in spite of the unusual wind, we had a good weekend!<\/strong> Shari had a good baking class on Saturday, which ended up being a great prayer and share time as well. And we need the prayer! And we had a good time of worship and fellowship on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the midst of the many challenges that this congregation is facing, we are so thankful for these times together in the presence of our Lord. And we praise Him in times of wind and storm, as He shows His great power. Thanks so much for your prayers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;overflow:hidden\" frameborder=\"0\" type=\"text\/html\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x7zcsd5?playlist=x7b840\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" allowfullscreen=\"\"> <\/iframe> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It felt like summer was coming early last week, but winter is back this week.
