2 weeks... 2 meetings a day- complete

Two weeks of meetings- two meetings a day (Children's meeting followed by meetings on Future Events). Both of the meetings were well attended. The meetings on future events were challenging and extremely interesting.

Update- Children's Meetings

I apologize for not updating sooner... the last couple of weeks have flown by with preparations for children's meetings and the end of school last week the actual meetings going on this week there is much to do!

I finished out the school term well- it was difficult, but I feel as though I learned new things that were helpful... which is the point I guess!

We are almost half way through a 2-week series of children's meetings, as well as a simultaneous 2-week series on events of the future following each night. The meetings are taking place in the new hall- something the Christians were excited about! So far the attendance has been excellent to both sets of meetings. Please pray for those attending the meetings, that there may be blessing here in Zapopan.

Nights 1-2: From Egypt to Canaan
 (Picture for Dad: check out the lights!! :) )

 Timothy is in charge of teaching the verse each night.
