Fear God, and give glory to Him

Reynosa!

Well, we made it to Reynosa the beginning of the week - Marcus' immigration document came the end of last week.  Praise the Lord!  After the worship service with the brethren in Tlaxcala Sunday morning, we headed north, with Tony Barajas and Josuè Moreno. 

We arrived at the home of our brother Eloy Garcìa, and his mother Guillermina, in Reynosa, Monday evening.  Right away it was a blessing to see that Guille had begun to cover her head, a big step of obedience to the Lord! 

The last number of days we've had opportunity to visit in a number of homes, of their friends and relatives, and encourage them to take up the cross and follow.  Last evening we had a Bible study here in their own home, and one of Eloy's cousins came. 

Another cousin of his, Areli, and her 3-year-old son, have been living here with the family for almost a year.  She and I are about the same age, and we've had some good talks (along with Sis. Guille) about submission to our husbands, etc.  One afternoon Eloy's sister Edith came by just as we were about to read 1 Peter 3, so she got to hear and join the conversation, too.  She said Eloy is always telling her that, and agreed that it's true - just hard.

Yesterday afternoon Areli and I adjusted a pattern and cut out a dress for Sis. Guille.  Areli took a sewing class years ago, so I believe she'll make out fine with the sewing.

We want to leave in a couple hours, for the last long stretch - 18 more hours from Reynosa to Monett, MO.  (We made it here in 15 hours, and were glad for Tony's help driving.  Now he and Josuè plan to bus back to Mexico City today.  Wish they could go along with us, but we've never been able to meet the visa requirements.) 

Lord willing, the next time I write we will be with the brethren in Monett!
