Vas: We are about to start our first Bible study in our new home and we have a couple of people who are going to attend it so I hope it will grow. I’ll let you know how it goes. It will take place tomorrow at 4 pm and it will be just to explain [...]
Vas: Well here in Mexico it’s kinda still Christmas because January 6th is Kings Day and that’s the time they give presents. Well, they actually give presents on Christmas and Kings Day. What I have usually seen is that on Christmas the presents are given to your family and friends and on Kings Day a [...]
Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! And to all my friends, I love you guys and miss you especially much during this time. Well, since I missed out all the Christmas questions I just thought I would jot down some highlights of our Christmas adventures and miracles. This was truly an [...]
Vas: Well hey you all. We are still here in Guadalajara and starting to play about five concerts a week. So we are officially starting out, and of course the stress of keeping on top of making sure our material is good and pulling off a good performance for the audience is weighing heavy on [...]
Joni: We go to the central market here every week to visit with our friends who donate vegetables, fruit, dry goods, cheese etc. weekly. Today I accompanied our home member that faithfully goes every week. I enjoyed doing something different. I have to admit that I’m very attached to teaching academics to the kids in [...]

Instead of getting their treat afterward like usual to reward them for their efforts, they enjoyed their treat first before [...]

Seems the festivities and decor aren’t as much this year tho….could be a result of the typhoon. I’m starting up practice with the kids, to put together some routines and carols for when we [...]
Our intrepid singing team was invited to visit one of the biggest orphanages in Cuernavaca to help distribute some sponsored books for the kids there. Of course we said “YESSS!!!!†because we love orphans, but also because we have a knack for getting ourselves into hopelessly embarrassing situations. We even offered to sing “the happiness [...]
I have always believed that there is healing power through prayer and through Jesus, and I have seen miracles many times in my life. I really have to tell you (and perhaps reminisce myself at the same time) about the wonderful woman I met at one of the hospitals we visited during our road trip. [...]
The other day I was making my rounds through what seemed like the new-age district of Cuernavaca. Everyone I met believed in magic teas and ancient religions—well, ironically, everyone except for the guy who owned the only esoteric items shop in the area. Later I met two brothers, elder men from a reputable family, and [...]
