We had a lot of post for some reason that did not get posted and we never checked. Please forgive the year delay on this post. We have the problem fix and hopefully will be able to keep it fixed and posting. Let's see most have been following us personally on face so will not recap this year. However will tell you of some plans we have coming up. We have plans to go to Leon Guanajuato for a ministry opportunity. Pray that this will be fruitful and God be honored. church is doing good. We have some new people that have been coming pray for these as they are very low verbal and need the gospel. Thanks for your prayer.

Wow
We have had many ups and downs in the ministry these last 3 months. The attendance has been steady. We have had to run to the USA for the death of crystals grandmother and for a mission conference. We did have someone help out in these events. We have some wonderful news. We have see souls saved recently. Thanking the Lord for these souls. There have been some changes in the church but God is working it all for his glory. Thank you for your prayers and love for our ministry as we continue to see God work and know He is continuing to work here among the deaf.

Vbs and camp
We have spent last week at vbs with a total of 6 deaf and this week with our teen at camp. Let's say our hands have been flying. During the middle of this we picked up a cold which makes us running a little slow. We have been working on our adoption please go to our adoption blog to check it out. We have been running around 15 to 21 at church in mante. We also have been running to Tampico to help there with the church and property issues. Please keeps in prayer .

Maria ????
We have just met a little old lady named maria (???) . She is in her 80's and lives alone after brother in law died and has no family willing to take care of her. She lives day by day for food, water, and bills to be paid. She doesn't know sign language but does uses mime a lot to help her communicate. This is such a sad story that it breaks your heart. Pray for her as we try to witness to her of Gods love for her.

We have completed two years here in Mexico now. Things have its up and downs like anything in life. We are happy to say we have seen souls saved, a building we are renting for the church, and life slowly being changed and that is the most important thing. We are trying to disciple them and see them grow in the Lord. however this is the battle. Pray that God will work in their heart for spiritual growth instead of staying spiritual babies. We are asking people to pray for us (1 Thess 5:25) and if you are interested post a comment, email or fb us and we will add you. thanks for stopping by and reading this.

Sorry so long since our last update, since then So much has happened. Crystal had a wreck. Went to renew our visa and still on hold for a more permant visa. Adoption agency direction changed agencies and new one decided not to work with us. Ministry is growing, we had 21 with a visitor and some of our members we not able to come. Pray for souls to be saved and that we can see more deaf changed for Christ. We are looking into ways to reach more deaf children.

update and adoption.
I cant believe its been so long since i have updated our blog. We have some deaf move away and some new ones coming. We officially moved the church into its own building and we continue to see growth spiritually among the deaf. We are still working on the papers for the visas because we need to be registered with the government first and waiting for that to happen. We have also started our homestudy for adopting a child. Please pray with us during this time as we try to adopt. We have a couple options open to us. One would to be foreign (haiti) adoption which we have prayed about before during the earthquake a few years back. Second would be to adopt through the foster care, however this brings up many questions and concerns with us being missionaries and living out of the country. The third would be a birthmother in the states threw one of the churches finding us and placing the child with us after the birth. The first and third would be ideal so please pray that God will open up the right door at this time. If you would like more information on how to pray or help on either the visa situation or the adoption please email dyc4deafofmex@aol.com or call us via the number on our website at www.deafofmex.com. We have been teaching 2 deaf children sign language on a weekly basis and also weekly at the bible institute here in Mante. We have a student that is in the bible institute working with us this sememster to train him to work in deaf ministry after he graduates in december.
