Monday: Monday morning we woke up, and I got to spend time with MB just talking about life. Our friend, Y, came over to our house to meet us to go to the elementary school to find out if we can teach at the school. The teachers agreed, and we planned to start the next day! That night we also go to teach English to Nikki! It was neat to see how God used English to continue to build that relationship! Below is a picture of Brittany teaching at the hotel!
Afterward, the gringas went to play basketball at the center, and let me tell you, the whole town was out to watch! No lie, there was so many people came and just watched us play with some of the guys from the church. We had a blast! I went home and was exhausted!
Tuesday-Thursday : Okay, a brief summary of the next couple of days! We have started teaching three times a week at two different elementary schools! One is at 7am-8am, and then the other we teach at 11am-12:30pm. God has really built alot of relationships through that! The teachers have also approved for us to tell Bible stories to the kids to teach English, so we are able to share God's Word with these sweet kids! Here are some sweet girls from the school that we have loved getting to know!
God has allowed for continued relationships with them! We were also able to tell a Bible story with our neighbor and shared with him how God is powerful through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! We also played more basketball and soccer with the kids and with guys from the church, and we also got to share a Bible story in a person's home and talk about how Jesus calms every storm in our life! God is moving in this village guys! God is working and all powerful! His provision is wonderful! We are building and continuing to develop relationships with those people. I do have some prayer requests!
- That God would allow for a continuation of us getting to share His Word through stories or whatever He wants.
- That our relationship with the church would continue to deepen and grow.
- That our relationships with people in the community would open opportunities for us to share Bible stories with them.
- Protection against spiritual warfare!
- Our Spanish! Haha this always needs prayer!
God is good always, and He always provides in each circumstance! I won't be back in Oaxaca until the 17th, so this will be my last blog post for a while! Jesus is going to do big things these next 3 weeks!
Gloria en lo alto!
Praying now for God to be glorified in everything that you and your team say and do and that your faith and joy continues to grow as He continues to demonstrate His love, power, and provision to you all.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,[h]
Who bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:14-15
