"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures." Psalm 118:1

The Lord has shown His goodness to us this month. We have started our English classes back up after our trip to Texas. We are working with one family in particular; Lisa teaches the children and Carl teaches their father who is studying for his doctorate degree. After having them come to our English classes, we invited them to our new Kid's Club that we started at our home. They arrived 30 minutes early and were very excited to be part of the club. They have been eagerly inviting others to come the club, as well.

Game time at our new Saturday morning Kid's Club

Our new Kid's Club is a 6-week program. We are learning that Jesus wants us to "Be a Good Friend," "Be Brave," "Be Gentle," "Be Happy," and "Be Kind." We are studying the scriptures, playing games, and making crafts. So far, we have had 8 kids come. This Saturday will be our third week. We are hoping to have the children from the church we are attending come and perform a play for our Kid's Club. Recently, Lacy, Alia and Noah have been involved in dramas at church. The first play was "Who is Jesus Christ?" and the second was about "Finding Joy in the Lord."

We are making plans to visit Florida in December. We will be attending a training/orientation with CTEN in Kerrville, TX on Dec. 9-11th and then driving to Florida. We are looking forward to seeing many of you and are already choosing what pictures we want to bring home to show you!!

Also, we are excited to be bringing home artesania from Oaxaca to display and sell in our very own "Oaxacan Mercado" to raise money for our ministries here. Details will be coming! Please plan on visiting our mercado to get a taste of Oaxacan culture and do some Christmas shopping at the same time!

Wishing you all a very Blessed Thanksgiving!!

For His Glory,
Carl, Lisa, Lacy, Alia, Noah, and Molly
