It’s been a whirlwind of activity around here – and it’s continuing, actually! <\/strong>But finally I decided I’d better write something here to update you all. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy week began with Palm Sunday<\/strong>, and I was preaching. It was very interesting, I’ve never specifically preached on a Palm Sunday theme, so I learned a lot. For example, do you remember that verse that talks about the people waving palm branches as Jesus rode by? I don’t think you do, actually, because there’s no such verse. How about that? (For the record, I think there’s good biblical evidence that the people did<\/em> wave palm branches – but there’s no one verse specifically saying so. In fact, only one Gospel actually mentions palms.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the week we went up north of Mexico City to the ranch where our friends the Howers live, for a missionary kid camp<\/strong>. It was designed for the kids and teens, but lots of adults (many MKs themselves, but not all) came as well. It was a great time of sharing and learning and fun and fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, who said it?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Back we came to Ixtapaluca, in time for a Good Friday<\/strong> service, led by our friend Edgar, in which Ezequiel led us through a meditation on the meaning of Christ’s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, of course, Resurrection Sunday<\/strong>! Oscar preached on – well, the resurrection, of course! And I led a game of “Who said it? Resurrection Sunday edition”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, there are a lot of quotes in the resurrection story – and it’s not always so easy to remember who said it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I’m getting ready for this coming Sunday, when we’ll be continuing our study of biblical anthropology<\/strong>. We’ve been doing it the first Sunday of each month, but we made an exception because of Holy Week. I don’t know how it’s going for everyone else, but I’ve been learning a lot from our study!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday we have our institute class – and in our New Testament Survey<\/strong> we’re finally arriving at the last book of the Bible! So that should be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it has been busy. Nathanael is starting to head into the home stretch for school<\/strong>, so that will be a little crazy over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Lord willing we will be able to get away for a few days next week and have a break, before diving back in again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot coming up, including the usually very busy month I lovingly call Manic May. Lots of decisions to be made. May we be faithful in service to our Lord as we take each step!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
