Let's Start Talking

I've been meaning to update for over a week now, but I didn't have any pictures to include and I know how much you all like pictures. So, here you go!
Our first LST team arrived a week ago. We've been advertising in the newspaper for the last month and have been passing out flyers on a couple of campuses. We had about 30 people call for more information and about 20 of them have shown up to read. That's over 50% so we're pretty excited! Our LST team for the first four weeks is Julie Dancer and Sherri Matthews. They will be here through July 7th and then three more ladies will come for two weeks to finish off the project. We are so excited about this project and the new people we are meeting because of it.
We had the first outing today (Saturday, June 16) with a couple of the readers. We went to the zoo here in Morelia and had a great time. The pictures are from today. I hope you enjoy them! Please pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of the readers and that his light will shine through Julie, Sherri and also Jeanine, our intern, as they read with people over the next few weeks.
One other prayer request real quick: Summer woke up this morning feeling dizzy and with a headache. Please pray for a quick recovery because we have a lot going on these days. Thank you!

Pics


An actual team picture!! That's Jeanine, our apprentice, standing next to Summer.

Even more shocking, a Gonzalez family picture where no one is crying (not even Sam!) : )

Proof that Sofía will smile for pictures on occasion

Olivia is walking already! Can you believe? And she loves her new freedom.
