Lesa´s Sunday School Class.

We have been learning ¨GOD MADE ALL THINGS¨ and we have gone through the

alphabet this last year. Each Sunday we took one letter and talked and learned about

all the things that God made. We learnt one verse during all those months....

Colossians 1:16-¨For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.¨ So thankful for the children that are in the class. The day the picture was taken there were six children missing. Hopefully I can get them ALL together for another picture :0) Thank you for praying for them. A lot of these children come from broken homes or from situations that are so sad! May the Lord work in their hearts FOR HIS GLORY!

Tuesday mornings Lesa has a Bible study with CARINA. We are going through the book of Psalms. Pray for Carina and her family. Her husband left her for another woman and Carina has the four children......it has been a HARD year. (Picture of Lesa and Carina and Picture of Carina and Family- left to right- Carolina, Carina, Martin(goes to school with Jony), Juan and Flo (goes to school with Sammy)).

On Friday afternoons Lesa has a Bible Study with NOEL. We are studying the book of Psalms. Noel is newly saved and it is a joy to work with her. She LOVES the Word of God! Her parents think she has been brain-washed. Please pray for her mom and dad (Elizabeth and Osvaldo) that they would be saved!

Dear Praying Friends,
As you all start enjoying the snow and colder weather ...we on the other hand are having very hot days and we have no SNOW, believe me! As you cook cookies and squares and all those yummy sweets for Christmas ...we are eating fruit salad or salads or anything COOL! But even if we are worlds apart we can still remember the birth of our Savior.

Our school year is ending soon!!!
Sam is graduating on the 16 of December!
Jony is finishing up grade 3 :0) Jony only has a few more days of school.
Our boys are growing up too quick!
Benjamin has a job working the month of December in a Men´s Shoe Store
and Sam has a job working in a Electrical Shop for two or three weeks in December.
Praise the Lord! Now if only Jony can get a job haha.Just kidding!
Pray for Colby and I as we continue with our Bible Studies.

During the week when JAVIER has his day off, Colby goes to JAVIER AND NOEMI´S home to read ¨The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus¨. Javier and Noemi are CELESTE´S parents (the little girl that had the accident- she was pushed down the stairs by a classmate in school).Please continue to pray for the salvation of Noemi and also pray for CELESTE... they put four metal plates in her head and one has moved and has caused some swelling. This week they have to take her to the doctor. Javier, Noemi and their five daughters come to Sunday School!! It is a joy to have the girls in the classes!! (*Pictures of JAVIER, NOEMI and CELESTE) When I can get a picture of the girls I will post it!

Bible Study #2

Another young man that comes to the house for Bible Studies is SERGIO. He is a young man that started coming to church with his girlfriend and is very interested in the things of the Lord. After the Bible study he goes home and talks to his brother and shares with him all he is learning. Remember him and his family in your prayers.

Bible Study #1

Juan---the man who lost his son in a motor bike accident and came to see Colby the same Wednesday we were traveling to the states--- he comes to the house every Friday afternoon and has a Bible Study with Colby. He is very faithful in coming to all the meetings. He broke his knee two weeks ago and he still comes to the meetings...limping along with his crutches (he lives 2 blocks down from us) Pray for the salvation of his wife-Maria.

We started the New Year in Canada. We were home on furlough for four months. We seen a lotof snow!!! It was fun (for a time) to shovel and to see everything so white and clean.

We were so happy to get to see family and friends in Florida, South Carolina, Philadelphia, New Brunswick and Maine.

ouse in Canada; Art and Margaret (Colby's mom) with Jonathan: Robert (Lesa's brother), Ann (Lesa's mom) with Jonathan.

Thank you, each one, for taking us into your homes, cooking such good meals and making us feel so welcomed!

Now we are back in Argentina. Back with all the believers....Continue to pray for us as we START again in the outreach to lost souls and the ministry of feeding the believers the Bread of Life.

Ding-dong goes the door bell .....
.......it is 2PM......
"That must be DIEGO" Colby says.
Every Friday afternoon Colby gets together with a young man to study the Word of God.
Diego is a 19 year old boy who has a great love for the Word and loves to ask a lot of questions.
He received the Lord with one of the believers of the church and since than has been to all the meetings and even to Bible Institute to take Colby's class every Thursday night.
Colby has been reading "The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus" with Diego
and we pray that the Lord would work in his life
and that he would continue to have this hunger and thirst for the Word of God.
Would you pray for him?
