Missions Conference in Durango
The city of Durango where we went to preach a missions conference.
Matt preaching at Iglesia Bautista Emanuel in Durango.
This is one of the kids class rooms: a bunch of block stacked with a tarp over it. It wasn't too bad until it started raining. The kids didn't seem to mind though.
The younger kids class. Some of these kids were so neglected, (the little boy without shoes has some; he just took them off :-) but thank the Lord for a church that cared about them. All of them are precious to Him.
The pastor's wife and another lady with some of the church kids.
They were all so hospitable and generous.
They took us to a mining museum while in Durango.
The kids seemed to enjoy it...at least using the hats and the vests.

Activities for the church men
The men have a monthly men's meeting.
Here they are painting a lighthouse scene as a project.
The church men have started a soccer team. Even though they have not won many games, it has been a good learning tool for them in unity. They have also enjoyed the exercise and fellowship, and it has been a way to get into the community a little bit more. (The ladies that come to root them on like to tease them about "Brighten the Corner Where You Are")
Rincon de Romos
Preaching the 5th Ann. services for the Iglesia Bautista del Camino.
Family odds and ends
We were making a visit a couple of weeks ago and as we were standing outside talking Enoch was running up and down the street. He fell and this is what happened. Of course he's fine by now. All in the day of a kid!
Judah loves to eat...and it usually shows!
Patiently waiting for the museum tour
We had to make him get down because he kept trying to climb higher. The balcony was about three to four stories high. He sure was happy while it lasted though.
All of them like to help with Judah. This time it worked out to be "A bite for me, a bite for you..."
Ryan
Ryan has been able to add some activities for the church in Luis Moya. Apart from the normal mid-week and Sunday services we have, he's started prayer meetings, and regular visitation. Here he is holding Judah during a service.
