My blessed brothers and sisters - Things are moving along and we can daily see the hand of the Lord touching the lives of people all around.Ashley Hebert has advised us that she is choosing to return to the States. I'm sad but, of course, she calls the shots for her life. We hope Ashley will stay close to FMC here and be praying in a special way for the mission team in the Philippines.The Spain mission continues to make good progress. Joe has just returned from a visit and had a great time with Maria and was impressed at how much is happening to build God's Kingdom there. Kevin Granger is there now visiting with Sarah. When he leaves, Sarah and the children will travel to Rome so the kids can visit their dad; Bridget and Kristen will accompany Sarah and enjoy a pilgrimage to the holy places in Rome. Maria and Sheila will use that time to visit and help Maria's ailing grandparents in Ireland. Genie and I hope to visit the Spain team sometime this summer.Anthony and Holly and Elijah John the Baptist are doing fine. Mother and baby are healthy and happy. Kevin and Andrea and Jen have been very busy with all the short term mission groups going to General Cepeda.I get glowing reports from the visitors on what a great job they are doing there, and that Jen is making good progress with her Spanish.Brother Luke and Albert give good reports: they are well established and busy - they need our prayers for the Lord to work his salvation among the people of their church parish.
Remember to have your personal prayer time each day, with Bible reading. Remember to continue your study from our list of books, encyclicals and reading materials. I have recently been able to find inspiring materials on mission and evangelism at the ZENIT website.Team leaders need to schedule their one-on-ones with the missionaries on their teams. Missionaries must show respect for their leaders, making it a joy for them to exercise their leadership.For His part the Lord will do great things; we need to be there to serve Him. He will sanctify us if we let Him.We pray for all of you all the time - don't forget to pray for us.
