Fear God, and give glory to Him

April Newsletter

   Dear family and friends,

   Greetings of love from Tlaxcala, Mexico.  Right now I'm using the internet here at the Moreno's house.  They just got it installed this week, which is nice for us others who can use it too.
   We've been in Tlaxcala for two weeks now, enjoying time with the brethren.  Last evening the brethren went out preaching together, and this afternoon they are too. 
   Sis. Gaby came over to the Barajas' house while the men were away, and Erika helped her sew a jumper for herself.  A week ago I helped her with another jumper.  She's getting more encouraged about sewing, and says she might be brave enough to try one by herself next time. 
   Tomorrow our family plans to go to Mexico City to be with the Aragòn family.  Two of their children, Angèlica and Jacobo, spent almost a week with us in Tehuacàn, the middle of March.  We were glad to get to know them better, and encourage them in following the Lord. 
   Roberto was with us most of that week, and Toni Barajas also.  Hopefully soon we will be able to visit Roberto and his family in the little town where they live an hour and a half away from us.  His mother and siblings came to services a number of times, and his mother seems to have a desire to walk in the light, but it is hard with all the pressure from family and friends. 
   We are thinking of making the trip to the States in about a month.  But before we can do that, we need to get some paperwork done - birth certificate and/or passport for Clayton, etc.  Josuè Moreno is hoping to go along with us, also.  So we will see how the Lord works things out for us.
   Clayton is 5 months old today.  A little over a week ago he got his first tooth.  He really likes to eat from the table already - tortilla, black bean broth, orange juice, milkshake, etc.  Also needed a couple spankings when he got mad because his food didn't come fast enough.  He can sit up pretty well by himself too - seems to be growing up faster than the other children, for some reason.
   The brethren just got back from preaching now.  God bless you!
