The season of – extra activities – has certainly arrived! We would certainly appreciate your prayers for a very busy day tomorrow, and a busy week to follow.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning I’ll be teaching adult Sunday school again – we’re at the 8th Commandment, “You shall not steal.<\/b>” As usual we’ll have far more to talk about that we’ll have time for, but that’s what makes it interesting. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Then we have our last “Adoration Service” of the year. We’ll be talking about the first and<\/i> second coming of Christ. I’m going to try to do something a little extra. It’s – well, I won’t say. But let’s just say I’ve been learning quite a bit about sheep this week.<\/p>\n

\"reindeerNow Shari and I agreed to sing in a choir for an evangelistic concert (two performances, actually) in a park in Mexico City next Sunday afternoon. This morning I discovered – suprise!<\/i> – we’re going to have another concert tomorrow too!<\/p>\n

So we’ve been frantically trying to get the songs figured out. Tomorrow afternoon is a special dinner for leaders of various churches in Mexico City. We were planning to go anyway, but not we’ll be running out right after our morning service for a practice.<\/p>\n

So tomorrow in particular is going to be pretty busy!<\/p>\n

This coming week we also have our final community centre classes. On Thursday after the baking class we’ll have a special closing program for all our students, with some fun and some ponche<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nathanael also has some practices for a Christmas program, but his program isn’t until the 20th. Needless to say, there’s lots more coming up this month!<\/p>\n

Thanks for your prayers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
