Tomorrow is our annual mega-service with several other churches in the Mexico City area.<\/strong> Ismael, pastor of the church in Jes\u00c3\u00bas Mar\u00c3\u00ada, will be preaching.<\/p>\n

It’s been an interesting time trying to organize our travel, as a church. There are some people with cars, and some without. Can we all squeeze in? Do we need to rent a bus?<\/p>\n

\"Mountain
Mountain road up to the camp (thanks to Google Maps)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Well, our numbers were respectable, but not huge. It looked like we would all fit.<\/p>\n

But then it turned out one vehicle wouldn’t be going (it’s not the vehicle’s fault, it’s because the owner isn’t going either). Can we fit? Yes, I think we’ll have space for everyone.<\/p>\n

Then one family in our church had an accident (actually the second of our friends here to have an accident in the last few weeks). Don’t worry – they’re ok. But that’s another vehicle down.<\/p>\n

Can we still fit? Well, now we’re at the last minute – I hope so! I’ve been messaging around looking for spaces and double checking who is coming. Still haven’t heard from everyone.<\/p>\n

Ah well, Lord willing — we’re still going tomorrow — somehow! Up north of Mexico City, into the mountains. It’s supposed to be rainy and around 10C – pretty chilly for a service with no heat in an open structure.<\/p>\n

Anyway, you could pray that we get it all worked out and are able to get everyone there safely! It will be an adventure!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
