Greetings to you for the month of November from all of us here at the Home. We want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. We pray that the Lord will bless you for the coming year as he has blessed us here this year.
We are very happy to announce to everyone that we now have a roof on our Church building. We have been working on the church building now for 7 years. All of the work is being done by members of the church. The work is being done only as the money is on hand. I want to point out that the church building has been built all from tithes and offerings from members of the church. No money has ever been raised from the States. The church has also been able to send $300.00 a month to missions. This is a church of about 40 members including children. This is proof that Mexican Churches can be self-supporting if they tithe.
It is with sadness that we report to you that Mely, the girl who has been working with the Home for the past 7 years, will be leaving. Mely comes from a small village near the city of Matehuala, about 250 miles north of here. She will be returning home to help take care of her mother. She will be leaving in December right after school is out. Please be praying that we find someone soon to replace her.
