Yes, I am back in Mexico, and still trying to get my balance after being gone for several weeks.<\/strong> I really only know a fraction of what is going on and what’s coming up, but I think I know enough to let you know a bit about what we’re preparing for right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Sunday<\/strong> I’ll be continuing my study on the “10 Words” (10 Commandments). We’re on the last commandment, and then we have one more study on the use of the law. I’m also getting ready to lead the music on Sunday. This is actually the study I was planning to do on the 25th of August, when I ended up on a plane to Canada. So it’s about time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Sunday is actually special because we’re also celebrating the 15th birthday of one of the teens in our church! So we’ll be celebrating with her family and most likely sharing God’s Word with a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will manage to avoid normality for one more Sunday after that – on the 6th of October is the annual Mega Service<\/strong>, where we get together will all the Bible churches in the area. With impeccable timing I’ve managed to miss out on almost all discussion about this service, so there are a lot of gaps in my brain about it at the moment. However, I do know that I’m playing keyboard for the music time. I’ve missed a practice or two, so it looks like we’ll be having a Mega Practice the night before the service – so — we’ll see how that works! Quite a few of the songs are new to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, back at the ranch,<\/strong> I’m still organizing a few things from my time in Canada, and also trying to catch up on a variety of things here. Like I said, I’m only slowly becoming aware of what all is coming up, so we’re all a little bogged down with work at the moment – but at least I found a moment to stop by to chat with you! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
