The sad news is that the little old lady (80 yrs) in this picture had a heart attack Sunday morning. Her name is Bienvenida, which means "Welcome!" in Spanish. She is scheduled for an operation today to unblock a 90% clogged artery. She is about the sweetest woman I have ever met. After church Sundays, we have refreshments and Bienvenida is always saying, "Make sure the Pastor gets some! Leave some for the Pastor!" The love she has for the church and her positive spirit are a real treasure. Please pray for her recovery.
The good news is that the older man in the photo (behind Tina) made a decision this Sunday to be baptized. His name is Felipe Soto. Some of our college students met his brother during visitation about three months ago. He heard about us and came to check us out and has been attending regularly since then. This last Sunday he said, "So, when am I going to get baptized?" Now that's the kind of question I like to hear! We hope to schedule his baptism within the next few weeks.
